How Dayton is building a better working world
“In today’s rapidly changing world, understanding the drivers of value and how capital can be deployed optimally is critical for success. Using an analytical and process-focused approach, I build diverse teams that assist companies in maximizing the return from their capital decisions. I enjoy working with leaders to solve the challenges of balancing short-term needs against long-term goals.
“When companies contemplate transactions, I help them understand structures and whether they are fair to their shareholders.
“I get tremendous satisfaction seeing the people and organizations I work with achieve their goals and success.”
