Background: Bob Forbes President - Forbes Mergers & Acquisitions Managing Director - Hunter Wise Securities Bob Forbes has over 20 years of experience as a business intermediary, owner, private equity executive, and investment banker. This experience has been hard won. Bob has been in the trenches, collaborated with hundreds of industry experts, launched dozens of ventures, sat on both sides of the transaction table, put his own companies and capital at risk time and again, navigated rough waters, and learned innumerable lessons along the way. Bob began his career in the 1990s as a transaction and finance specialist, continuing on the entrepreneurial successes of his father. He led global finance and development activities with Independent Energy Partners, WPP, Westar Capital, and Tricor Partners, building and acquiring companies in the power, renewable energy, and cleantech industries. He founded Peak Network Communications (technology), Energyworld (business intelligence), and Authentor Systems (security technology). At Authentor, he orchestrated a merger with a subsidiary of T-NETIX (NASDAQ: TNTX), as well as built key financial partnerships to fund growth with FLV Ventures, Catalyst Partners, and SI Ventures. Authentor’s technology platform became a cornerstone of security management today. He also co-founded M2M Data Corporation (remote monitoring communications), then facilitated partial sales transactions with NERD Energy and Fusion Ventures. Throughout his career, Bob has recognized an untapped opportunity in an underserved market—lower middle market businesses that don’t receive senior-level attention from the big investment banks. To address this need, in 2004 he launched Forbes Mergers & Acquisitions, a boutique advisory firm specializing in bringing multiple senior advisors with diverse real-world expertise to every transaction. In 2011, he joined forces with Hunter Wise Securities, where he’s also a Managing Director, to expand the firm’s resources and global reach.
