Shivani Patel Join Strategic Exit Advisor

Strategic Exit Advisors is pleased to announce that Shivani Patel, through Drexel University’s co-op program, has joined the firm as an Investment Banking Analyst.


Shivani’s previous experience working for a Fortune 100 Company makes her an asset to the Strategic Exit Advisors Team. Because she understands how a successful company functions, Shivani will also make an immediate impact on the entrepreneur company for which Strategic Exit Advisors serves.


Curt Cyliax, Managing Director of Strategic Exit Advisors, says, “As a small, client-focused investment banking firm, Shivani will have the opportunity to get hands-on and real-world experience. We welcome her and know she will be a great help.”

Along with her studies, Shivani serves as a delegate on the Dean’s Student Advisory Board where she is currently developing an interactive workshop series to educate college students about the importance of financial literacy. Prior to her role as an Investment Banking Analyst at Strategic Exit Advisors, Shivani worked at Comcast with a team of project managers who deployed sales tools. She learned how to manage the end-to-end processes of complex projects using project management tools such as Gantt charts, RAID logs, and Work Breakdown Structures. A native of Fairless Hills, PA, Shivani enjoys painting, hiking, reading, and spending time with her family.
