ACQUISITION, INTEGRATION, TRANSFORMATION
Anything ending in “t-i-o-n” seems to take a ton of YOUR time, energy, and focus. Meanwhile YOU…

  • Still need to run the business

  • Need capable bodies or specialized expertise

  • Would love to clone yourself or delegate…but you can’t.

  • "Justin is one of the best thought-leading executives I’ve encountered. I highly recommend him for his ability to strategize, plan, and oversee large-scale enterprise solutions."

    Founding Partner & EVP Industry Strategy

  • "Schaefer Advisors were a critical part of our success as we worked through a merger of two large entities.

Our successful transition in the process can be directly related to their wisdom and support."

    EVP, Technology & Systems

  • "Our family owned company of 85 years and 4 generations suddenly voted to sell our company in its entirety. There were deep rooted opinions and divergent expectations from over 70 stockholders.

Without a doubt, the skills of Schaefer Advisers made a positive impact to the final outcome."

    Currently Head of Software Engineering and Board Member

  • "Justin has an innate ability to make the complex understandable and relatable and has a keen eye for identifying and promoting talent, building resilient teams built for the long term."
