The Principium Group announced today that it has expanded its team of professionals to include Craig Sanford, who will advise clients on mergers & acquisitions and capital strategies, and Susan Stedman, who joins as an analyst. With these two additions, Principium now has a team of five mergers & acquisitions professionals serving clients in the lawn, landscape, facilities and other business services industries.
Craig Sanford has an extensive background in corporate development and private equity. Among other assignments, he was a key member of the TruGreen Lawncare acquisition group while it was a unit of The ServiceMaster Company. He has also served as vice president of a middle market private equity firm. Craig holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation and MBA and BBA degrees in finance from the University of Mississippi.
Susan Stedman has a strong financial background. She has significant merger & acquisition experience having served in financial management roles with two large international companies. She is a CPA and holds a BBA in accounting from the University of Memphis.
Ron Edmonds, Principium’s president, commented on the additions to the team, “We are excited about including Craig and Susan on our team. They both bring concrete, real-world experience in navigating the complex world of mergers & acquisitions. This is meaningful to our clients and potential clients in two major ways. It strengthens our client service resources at a time when demand for our services is rising and is expected to continue to rise as the level of merger & acquisition activity continues to accelerate. It also expands our experience, especially in the areas of private equity and international opportunities. We’ve also been able to expand our target market to include a wider range of business-to-business service businesses.”
The Principium Group provides services related to mergers & acquisitions, exit planning and capital strategies to clients in the lawn, landscape, facilities and other business services industries. Based in the Memphis, Tennessee area, they also have a presence in southern California and Florida. For more information, visit their website at principiumgroup.com.
