Who Are We
My name is Megan Lawlor, and I am looking to acquire one successful business.
I have a robust background in M&A and Strategy Consulting at KPMG, where I've supported more than a dozen companies through acquisitions across various industries including business services, healthcare, and technology sectors. My work has spanned the full acquisition lifecycle – from initial due diligence through post-acquisition integration and value creation. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of what makes businesses successful and how to unlock their growth potential.
My inspiration and work ethic come from my parents – my father, who is an entrepreneur, and my mother, who has served in several leadership positions in small businesses. Through their dedication and perseverance, I learned early on that success comes from a foundation of hard work, integrity, and continuous learning. These values have guided my professional journey and now shape ML Capital's approach to business acquisition and growth.
I earned my MBA from New York University's Stern School of Business with specializations in Finance and Management. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Accounting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
At ML Capital, we believe in building a lasting partnership with a business owner who has spent years developing their company. Our approach focuses on preserving and enhancing the legacy you've built while fostering growth and maintaining the values and culture that have made your business successful.
