40 Million Owners co-founder Mike Brady's article was featured alongside a great group of Employee Ownership leaders in a recent roundup by Expanding ESOPs. The momentum behind #EmployeeOwnership is real, because it's coming from all corners of the economy and the country. - The largest investors in the world, led by KKR, Peter Stavros, and Ownership Works, are creating billions of dollars of value for employees at large-cap companies. - Mary Sullivan Josephs and Verit Advisors are leading ESOP M&A advisors for middle-market companies. - Berkshire-style holding companies of SMBs like Chris Fredericks at Empowered Ventures, Christine Adee at OwnersEdge, Inc., and Eric Strickland at 3LS Inc are demonstrating that the power of compounding applies to ESOPs. - Trevor Gilmore's The Menke Group has created over 4,000 (!!) ESOPs in the past 50 years, and they're not slowing down. - Finally, our principal investing firm, Southeast Acquisition Capital, is developing an ESOP Sponsor model to compete with private equity buyers in the lower-middle market.
