Strategic Exit Advisors (SEA), a premier lower middle market investment bank headquartered in Ambler, PA, is pleased to announce Peter Hissey has been promoted to Director at SEA. As Director, Peter will continue to lead transaction execution while taking on expanded responsibilities in business development and mentoring junior team members. His promotion underscores SEA’s commitment to promoting from within and recognizing exceptional talent.
Peter Hissey continues to distinguish himself as an exceptional lower middle market M&A advisor who exemplifies SEA’s mission. While many investment bankers focus solely on multiples and deal mechanics, Peter understands that selling a business represents the culmination of an entrepreneur’s life work — their people, their culture, and the legacy they’ve spent years building.
In practice, Peter has consistently demonstrated SEA’s core values, taking the time to understand what truly matters to entrepreneurial business owners – whether that’s ensuring their employees are cared for, finding buyers who will preserve company culture, or structuring deals that honor the founder’s vision for their business’s future. This commitment to understanding each client’s unique story and goals has made Peter instrumental in SEA’s reputation for delivering outcomes that protect what entrepreneurs value most.
“I’m honored to take on this expanded role at SEA,” said Peter Hissey. “Working with entrepreneurs during their M&A process is both challenging and rewarding, and I look forward to continuing to help our clients achieve their goals while contributing to the firm’s continued growth.”
Peter’s promotion to Director reflects not just his technical capabilities, but his embodiment of SEA’s belief that the right buyer matters as much as the right price.
“Peter has grown tremendously since his early days as a Summer Analyst,” said SEA Managing Director Curt Cyliax. “His promotion to Director reflects not only his technical capabilities but also an unwavering commitment to helping entrepreneurs achieve their exit goals. This promotion is well-deserved and represents the next logical step in what has been an impressive career trajectory.”
Senior deal team member Rob Waring, who has worked closely with Peter on numerous transactions, commented, “Peter’s ability to navigate complex negotiations while maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients is truly remarkable. His promotion to Director recognizes his growing leadership role and the significant impact he continues to make on our team and our clients’ success.”
Mike O’Donnell, another senior deal team member, added, “What sets Peter apart is his unique combination of analytical rigor and emotional intelligence. He understands that selling a business is more than just a financial transaction – it’s often the culmination of an entrepreneur’s life’s work. His ability to guide clients through this process with both expertise and empathy makes him an exceptional advisor.”
