Welcome to our introductory episode of Life After Deal!

In this first episode, Artemis Managing Director and Head of Industrials, John Lahti circles back with Dave Peters, former President and CEO of Sellstrom Manufacturing Co.

In 2015, Sellstrom engaged Artemis to advise on the sale of the family business. Only nine months later, a successful and mutually beneficial deal was closed and the multi-generational family business was sold to SureWerx.

This episode explores the family history, dynamics and feelings involved with the sale. John Lahti looks in to Dave Peters' new life, free from the burden of running a successful company.
