“We are grateful to Triscend for their efforts in guiding us through this transaction. John’s intimate knowledge of our process proved to be invaluable, and his hands-on approach was exactly the type of advisor we needed for our family’s business.” -Zach Kiss, prior General Manager and Owner of SGP
"After 39 years of building this business, it became more than just a company—it was a family,” said Gary Vergason, Founder and retired CEO of VTI. “Finding the right home for our employees and ensuring that the legacy we built would continue was my top priority. John Mosser of Triscend Partners truly understood that. His expertise in our industry and ability to connect us with the right buyer made all the difference. His strategic approach and unwavering commitment set him apart.”
“I was fortunate to have John’s guidance from day one when we first had the opportunity to partner and transact with IOS. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and the process seemed daunting and stressful at times. Having a dedicated advisor who could walk me through every aspect of the deal, manage the due diligence process, and advocate for my interests on all critical issues made a huge difference in the outcome. John’s steady presence and deep expertise gave me confidence every step of the way.” -Lorah Henry, prior Owner and President at B.A. Hoft
