CMF Associates announced that Brian Dwyer has been named a principal of the firm and will be responsible for developing and managing account relationships for CMF’s financial consulting, executive search and deal origination practices.

Dwyer comes to CMF with more than seven years of financial services experience, having spent time in global equity trading, financial consulting, and private equity. Prior to re-joining CMF, Dwyer was the director of Business Development for Element Partners, a private equity group in Radnor, PA, where he was responsible for identifying and analyzing new investment opportunities for the firm.

Before joining Element, Dwyer managed CMF’s Deal Origination practice, which sources new investment opportunities to private equity firms nationally. He also worked at Morgan Stanley as part of their fixed income and equity trading team. Dwyer’s experience and strong relationships in the M&A and professional services communities makes him an asset to CMF and its clients.

“Brian is the consummate professional — someone you want to have on your team,” said Thomas Bonney, founder and managing director at CMF Associates. “We are thrilled that he has chosen to continue his career with CMF.”
