Matt Gimlett
Senior Managing Director
FTI Consulting
What led you to a career in the deal-making industry?
My career in M&A has been one of evolution rather than ‘intelligent design’. I was randomly staffed on an integration project during my early days as a consultant and was energized by how dynamic and transformative M&A can be to companies and professionals alike. I haven’t looked back since.
Memorable deal I worked on... why?
The carve-out of Eastdil Secured from Wells Fargo. It was my first chance to lead a major deal at FTI and work with an incredible set of teammates and clients.
Most enjoy about my career...
The opportunity to work with and learn from some of the brightest minds and leaders in business while delivering great work alongside a team that inspires me each day.
