How Hisham is building a better working world 

“The fragmented Aerospace & Defense industry has been consolidating over the past few years at a furious pace driven primarily by aggressive cost reductions and the need for margin improvement. There is increasing pressure to deliver top-notch quality, increased production and enhanced service, all at lower prices. As a trusted advisor to my clients, I work to identify ways to enhance value, reduce risk and improve competitive positioning through M&A and financing transactions. I help my clients plan and execute strategic transactions, such as mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, equity and debt financings.”
