Jonathan prides himself on being a swiss-army knife within the M&A practice, with broad and deep expertise in both business and technology. Specifically, he has experience in sales and operations planning, manufacturing, supply chain, ERP, business intelligence, data science, enterprise architecture, and digital transformation.
