Presenters:
Christopher Bean – Former Executive, Ackerman Security
Christopher was part of the acquisition of Ackerman Security by ADT, operating at a senior executive level through the transaction. He brings firsthand insight into how large strategic buyers evaluate companies, assess risk, and determine valuation.
In this session, Christopher will share how sophisticated buyers think—and what separates companies that command premium valuations from those that don’t.
Pedro Ferreira – Senior Business Broker
Pedro is the longest-tenured member of the Transworld Atlanta North team and has closed more transactions than any other broker in the office. Lifetime award winner, he brings deep, real-world experience on how deals actually unfold—from valuation expectations to due diligence to closing.
He will share what works, what doesn’t, and where business owners unknowingly lose value during the sale process
Darryl Jones – Former Owner of Dale Carnegie Atlanta
Darryl spent over a decade building and leading the Dale Carnegie franchise in Atlanta, working closely with business owners and leadership teams on performance, delegation, and organizational growth.
He will focus on the often-overlooked factor in exit success: owner behavior—and how leadership decisions directly impact whether a business becomes transferable and valuable.
Whether you’re planning to exit in the near future or simply want to build a more valuable, transferable business, this session will equip you with the insights to design your ideal outcome.
