Strategic Exit Advisors Continues Growth with Addition of an Associate

Strategic Exit Advisors is pleased to announce that Peter Hissey has joined the firm as an Associate.


Hissey says, “I am excited to be joining the impressive team at SEA. From my time here as a summer intern in 2018, I learned the value that SEA brings to their clients as well as to the community. I share their mission of helping entrepreneurs get the best deal for their lifetime of work. I also thrive in entrepreneurial environments and was really blown away by SEA’s Pay it Forward program that helps charitable organizations. I’m excited to start contributing to the firm’s success, serving both entrepreneurs and the community.”

Adds SEA Managing Director, Curt Cyliax, “Peter comes to us after a few years on Wall Street. Before that, he was a professional baseball player. In both roles, he was a part of successful teams and knows how to get a group moving in the right direction always focused on the goal. His work ethic, positivity, and unique experience allow him to connect with our clients while accomplishing excellent results. We welcome Peter to the SEA team.”
