Ben was a huge asset to me as I was working through the process of selling my software business I ran for over 15 years. Ultimately the proof is that Ben and his team were the ones who initially contacted our eventual acquirer and helped us navigate the various offers, and helping us to find the best home for me and my team. I’d hire Ben again if I were ever to go through this again.

I worked with Ben on a large global project which gave me an opportunity to interact in person on a daily basis with him and to witness first hand his collaborative approach and effective communication skills, next to a high level of enthusiasm. He is a person that gets things done with a vision and a long term strategy while taking into consideration any changes that may occur along the way. I highly recommend Ben, and I look forward to working with him again on future projects.

Ascento represented my company Proant, a leading IoT antenna company in Sweden, on a sell side M&A transaction. Ben Boissevain led the deal and did a terrific job. He conducted a global search with a wide outreach to over 100 targets. We had serious interest from companies in the US, Europe, and Asia. Due to the vigorous auction process, the valuation of Proant exceeded my expectations. We selected Abracon in the US as the buyer since it was the best strategic fit. Ben was very professional, action oriented and provided excellent advice. I highly recommend Ben to others for M&A advisory services.

Ben Boissevain was instrumental in the success of NIC’s acquisition of VisionLTC. Mr. Boissevain’s senior level connections in the tech sector, decades of experience in M&A, and his background in corporate law, all contributed to a highly successful transaction.
