“Glover’s extensive M&A experience and strategic insight at both the board and execution levels make him an exceptional addition to our team,” said Damiano Colnago, Managing Partner of SEDA Experts. “His background enhances our ability to support clients in high-stakes mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and corporate finance disputes.”

He has executed more than 75 transactions totaling over $17 billion across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, spanning acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and restructurings.
Mr. Lawrence, as head of corporate development for AspenTech and Avid Technology, led over 25 strategic transactions and played a central role in initiatives that tripled AspenTech’s revenue and expanded its market capitalization from $4 billion to $15 billion.
