Stax, a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) consulting firm, has promoted Roy Lockhart to managing director and leader of the sell-side and exit planning practice.
Based in the firm’s Boston headquarters, Lockhart will focus on supporting management teams, sponsors, and investment banks in formulating investor-friendly narratives to facilitate capital raises and exits, while mitigating buy-side concerns.
Lockhart has been at Stax since 2011, joining the firm as a research associate and being promoted to manager in 2018 and director in 2022. During his tenure at the firm, Lockhart has delivered strategic advice to various clients in private equity, focusing on sell-side engagements, exit planning, and growth strategy for the software and technology industry.
Before joining Stax, Lockhart was a market research associate at Investor Group Services. He has a bachelor’s degree from Bates College.
“From his early days to Managing Director, Roy has demonstrated excellence as both an individual contributor and team builder, leaving a lasting impact through his commitment to personal and team development,"
said Paul Edwards, Stax global practice leader.
"He's played a critical role in talent development, process enhancement, and productization—particularly in our sell-side practice.”
Jayson Traxler, CEO, added,
"At Stax, we prioritize organic growth and long-term career development, particularly in senior leadership roles. We're excited to see Roy in his new role, where he will focus on our sell-side practice, leveraging his expertise and relationships to deliver actionable insights to our clients."
Stax specializes in commercial due diligence, value creation, and exit planning for private equity firms, portfolio companies, hedge funds, and investment banks. The consultancy has more than 300 global professionals across offices in Boston, Chicago, New York, London, and Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Stax earlier this year announced the addition of Amy Helenbrook as a Chicago-based managing director.
