Sara entered the mergers and acquisitions industry in March 1991 and has been actively involved in Walden’s successful closings of small to middle market sized companies. While Sara specializes in owner representation, she has handled unique buyer representations in the national marketplace. She has represented and sold companies with sophisticated high profiles in the service sector, to heavy manufacturing and distribution businesses with equal success. Sara is heavily involved in the firm’s valuation services and has been engaged as an expert witness by several of Atlanta’s accounting and legal firms. Sara’s M & A expertise has led her to be a guest speaker for talk radio shows, IBBA Conference speaker/trainer, as well as participating in numerous business panels and speaking engagements at the local level.

Prior to joining Walden, Sara created a permanent staffing service in 1981 placing high-end administrative support personnel. In 1984, she acquired a temporary service, expanding her firm to one of the largest of its type in Atlanta at that time. The temporary division was divested in 1988, and the permanent division in 1991.

She serves as Vice President for Walden Businesses, and has served on the Executive Board of the Atlanta chapter of the National Association Women Business Owners, and currently on the Executive Board for Lexington Crossing Homeowners Association, among others. Sara is also a published author.

Sara holds the Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) certification through the International Business Brokers Association, and is one of less than 100 individuals in the United States to have earned the M&AMI (Mergers & Acquisitions Master Intermediary) certification through M & A Source. In December 2011, she was honored with the Fellow of the IBBA (FIBBA) designation for her years of participation and contributions to the M&A industry.
