Armen A. Grigorian
Co-founder, Managing Partner
Armen works with a limited number of successful entrepreneurs and business families. For decades he had the privilege of working with clients as they transformed from business owners to business families and business dynasties, along the way helping them evaluate and execute capital, investment, and strategies, including key events such as selling or buying businesses, recapitalization, and business and estate transitions. Establishing a valued relationship with clients is essential for Armen. He believes quality advice requires an in-depth understanding of client priorities and strategy, combined with absolute discretion and access to institutional-class resources.
