Tuesday, May 17th, 2022
Oaklyn Consulting, a Chattanooga-based mergers, acquisitions and capital-raising consulting firm, announced today that Monty Bruell has joined the firm as a partner. He will be based in Atlanta.
Bruell, who will focus on serving the needs of small- to mid-sized minority and women owned business enterprises (MWBEs), is an entrepreneur, business consultant and investment advisor with more than 25 years’ experience. In 2021, Bruell ran for mayor of Chattanooga, highlighting a message of addressing economic disparities in Chattanooga and around the country.
“I’m thrilled to join Oaklyn Consulting, and I’m energized by our potential to help successful women- and minority-owned businesses strategize for the future by raising capital, acquiring other businesses or selling,” Bruell said. “There’s a pent-up demand among small- and mid-sized businesses for specialized M&A advisory services to help navigate complex transaction decisions, and we look forward to applying Oaklyn Consulting’s consultative approach specifically to help the owners of MWBEs.”
Bruell has been a principal for MRB Consulting since 2012, working directly with clients on a project basis to develop and execute strategies to launch and scale early-stage start-ups in preparation for funding and growth. He has also been a board member and shareholder for Georgia point-of-sale software company Rapid RMS since 2013. He graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor’s in economics.
