Our exit road map builds the best exit plan customized if you want to sell now, in 1-3 years or more than 5 years from now.

Our founder
Our founder is Kevin Murdock.
Kevin has been working with middle market business owners and their CEOs to accelerate growth and run them through successful exit processes. He has helped clients grow by 10X in a year and helped others sell for 50% more than their investment banker’s valuation estimate at the start of the sales process.
Kevin has a unique background that enables him to develop strategic insights which drive profitable growth & lead to successful exits.
In his career, he has been a professor of Strategy at Stanford Business School where he taught 1/3 of all Stanford MBAs the core Strategic Management course and did research on optimal contract design. He evaluated over 1000 businesses to understand business strategies that deliver outsized performance.
He later joined McKinsey & Company where he led engagements on multi-billion-dollar M&A due diligence, lean operation improvements, strategic marketing, and ultimately was a leader in the North American Health Care practice and the global Business Building and Growth practice.
He left McKinsey to buy a series of companies which he later sold via successful exits before founding Growth & Exit Partners LLC.
