"We engaged Haviland & Co. at the recommendation of a professional colleague. Having gone through an M&A event previously with only an accounting and legal team, Haviland & Co’s services were a breath of fresh air. Sandy provided equal parts diligence prep, sounding board and sellers agent. On the diligence prep, he took his time to get to know us and our business deeply. Should I need to go through an M&A event in the future, Haviland & Co would be my first call!"
"We worked with with Sandy through the acquisition of our software company in 2021. Unlike many firms that assign junior associates to accounts, with Haviland & Co. we worked exclusively with Sandy throughout the acquisition process. This proved invaluable during the inevitable twists that occur during a deal process. Sandy took the time to thoroughly understand all aspects of our business so he could be a strategic partner from evaluating different opportunities through closing activities. "
"I had the good fortune to work with Sandy for several years at Pedersen Kammert & Co. LLC. Sandy was one of our most entrepreneurial and productive investment bankers, with excellent business development skills, a creative mind for developing and leveraging his professional network, and a ferocious level of tenacity in closing projects on behalf of his clients.
"Sandy's experience, persistence and negotiating skills were vital for this deal. I was amazed at several points in this process when he used all of those skills to keep things moving toward the goal. I learned long ago that you must endure through many hard times in order to finally reach success. And this deal is certainly a success. Sandy's constant focus on the overall strategy helped all of us keep perspective in the hard moments. He walked my team through a very complex process and convinced the buyer to acquire us. Sandy is one hell of a salesman! Without him I never would have realized the dream I've had for over 30 years - to sell that company."
"Sandy was my adversary (joking!) when I bought a company in Philadelphia where Sandy was the banker. He is the best I have ever seen. You cannot go wrong with him."
"Sandy is an exceptional leader and human being. I had the great pleasure and privilege of working for Sandy and he always puts people first, cares deeply about how and what his team thinks and works hard to assemble opinions and gather people into a common point of view; the result is an irresistible desire to work hard for Sandy and contribute at your highest level for his team. Given the chance, I would gladly work with or for Sandy again and recommend him for any role that requires a strong leader."
