Paul Hajek joined ACT Capital Advisors as a managing director. He will focus on helping business owners in Eastern Washington achieve the best possible outcome when they decide to sell their companies.

As an independent owner of a business coaching and consulting firm, Hajek spent 12 years helping owners of lower-middle market companies to turn their businesses around, achieve exponential growth, exit their companies successfully and reach their personal goals.

He originally began his career 23 years ago as a scientist working at NASA. After getting his MBA degree, he worked for a series of high-tech companies in California, New Mexico and Idaho in finance management, marketing management and strategic planning positions.

Bob Hild, ACT Capital Advisors chairman and managing director, said, “Our Eastern Washington business, especially in the greater Spokane area, has continued to grow at a rapid rate. It’s important for us to have a managing director for ACT in that location. With Paul, we will be able to deliver M&A advisory services in person and give sellers the attention they need. Paul will be an excellent representative for ACT in this market.”

ACT Capital Advisors is an M&A and corporate finance firm.
