Happy New Year and thank you for joining us in our first 2023 episode of Deal Talk with 7MA.
In today’s episode, 7 Mile’s co-founders Leroy Davis, Andy Johnston, and Tripp Davis join Steve Sypek to reflect on the eventful period in the M&A world over the past couple years.
They recount coming off a historic year in 2021, where M&A activity in the technology services space and the broader market was at all time highs. They discuss some challenges that 2022 introduced that they may not have expected heading into the year. They analyze the impact of geo-political events such as Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and the Fed sparking further caution as they aggressively drove interest rates higher following a prolonged period of near zero rates.
Throughout the episode, they provide insight into how 7 Mile Advisors responded to these events and what they see on the horizon for the IT Services Industry in the M&A world.
