"From day one, Ann distinguished herself as a humble, honest and confident leader who could 'move' the room. Having gone through several acquisitions herself, she gets it and understands why we are in the M&A business of helping entrepreneurs successfully exit. We have leveled the playing field for entrepreneurs exiting and now need the extraordinary talent like Ann to stay ahead of the growth," added Cliff Oxford.

Ann Stallard commented, "I'm a life-long entrepreneur and find that role so exciting, because I am learning new things all the time about how people and businesses work - successfully. The Oxford Center brings a whole new thought-provoking process to the start-grow-exit strategy."
