ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Meet Liz MacRae:
Liz is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and the Co-Founder of the technology start-up Village Wellth, an acquisition management platform built to simplify and streamline the process of buying a business.
After missing the opportunity to take over her father's company due to lack of succession planning, Liz and her husband, Scott, ventured into business ownership by purchasing a franchise. The experience of starting a new franchise and coming full circle to sell it led her into the business succession space, where she trained as a business broker and later as an exit planning advisor.
In the past decade, Liz has acquired and exited from two companies. She is dedicated to innovating the acquisition process to ensure that more businesses in the lower middle-market transition to the next generation.
