Barry has over 30 years of experience as an investment banker, valuation consultant, CFO and entrepreneur. He began his career as an investment banker in New York with Dillon, Read Co. Inc. (now part of UBS), where he provided M&A, corporate finance and financial advisory services to a client base of multinational corporations. After eight years at Dillon Read, he joined a brokerage firm where he co-founded a corporate finance department that focused on private placements and public offerings for emerging growth and middle market companies.
Since 2010, Barry has been a partner of CapVal-American Business Appraisers LLC specializing in the valuation of technology and growth companies. He co-founded Find Venture Debt LLC after recognizing that technology companies often lack the market knowledge, transaction expertise, and time required to manage the debt financing process.
Prior to joining CapVal, Barry founded The Cobble Hill Group LLC, which provides research-driven, acquisition search services to middle market companies and private equity groups. He also co-founded American Home Centers Corporation, a private equity backed consolidator/roll-up of manufactured home dealerships.
Barry received a B. S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business. He is a member of the CFA Institute, the American Society of Appraisers, the Association for Corporate Growth, and the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors.
