Rex Slagel, VERCOR Managing Director. After a successful career with one of the largest middle market M & A Firms in the Chicago area, Rex joined the VERCOR Team as an independent licensed office. With 12 years of deal making experience - assisting sellers of mid-range companies, he understands that each deal is unique and requires its own measure of attention.
Rex has worked with clients in manufacturing, distribution, and service industries with revenues up to $76 million. He believes that the mid-range segment of the market benefits the most from professional advisory services. These owners are accustomed to running their business without much outside advice. Consequently, the pre-sale preparation, marketing and confidentiality of the business transfer is not something they are accustomed to dealing with.
"The middle market is full of entrepreneurs that should be preparing to move from the "success" driven stage of their business lives into the "significance" of their future. Most have a good portion of their wealth tied to their business. As they prepare for this highly complicated transition a relationship with their advisor's that is built on trust, objectivity, and capability is vital."
Rex and his wife Jody of 27 years have two children. Rex serves on an international ministry board, is co-leader of a local men's group, spends time on outreach in the city and is an experienced gardener.
