NEW YORK - OhioPen -- STS Capital Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Ross Toohey as a Managing Director. A founder-turned-M&A strategist with a track record of building, scaling, and successfully exiting businesses, Ross brings over two decades of experience across entrepreneurship, corporate development, and strategic advisory. Having led his own company through a premium private equity exit and advised others on both buy- and sell-side transactions, Ross offers a uniquely holistic perspective that enhances STS's ability to deliver Extraordinary Exits™ for founder-led and mid-market companies.

Through EONOVA, he leverages his expertise in leadership, strategic growth, and both buy- and sell-side M&A to help business owners identify valuation gaps, plan successful exits, and accelerate enterprise value. He is a sought-after strategic growth consultant, particularly for businesses in healthtech, pharma/biotech, and professional services.
