Testimonial

Maria and her team at AGC provided invaluable assistance to Sunbelt in the sale of our company to GFI Software. They showed an exemplary professionalism that enabled us to achieve an excellent outcome. With their in-depth knowledge of security, they were able to assist us in crafting a powerful selling message to potential buyers. Their breadth of contacts in the industry gave us direct access to relevant contacts at potential buyers and investors, and Maria’s reputation provided credibility that may not have been possible had we been with a firm less knowledgeable and connected as AGC. Finally, the fact that they run one of the most highly-attended security investment conferences in the industry certainly assisted us in getting audiences with a greater range of potential buyers. I am a great fan of AGC and hope that we can continue to work together on opportunities in the future.
