True North Advisors Announces Leadership Changes

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- True North Advisors today announced three key leadership transitions for Sunbelt Business Advisors, which provides business brokerage services, and True North Mergers & Acquisitions, its lower middle market advisory firm.

CEO Brian Slipka is transitioning into the position of chairman of True North Advisors to focus on strategic pursuits. At the same time, Chris Jones is elevated from president to CEO. In addition, Michael Hubsmith has been promoted to president of True North Mergers & Acquisitions.

"I'm pleased our firm has evolved to a stage where we can best serve our clients by offering two levels of advisory services. Sunbelt Business Advisors focuses on brokerage services for mainstreet businesses in the upper Midwest region, and True North M&A addresses a national market of companies with revenues between $10 - $150 million," said Slipka. "With Sunbelt and True North M&A, we serve the private companies that are the heartbeat of our economy, helping founders and owners transition ownership and exit.
