Scott Eisenberg had a successful career
in the corporate world, but he didn’t
want a life controlled by corporations.
So with a background in mergers and
acquisitions, he partnered with Bud Aspatore
in 1995 to form Amherst Partners LLC, an
investment banking
and turnaround management firm.
Eisenberg and
Aspatore have
worked relentlessly
to promote their company and have created
a vision statement for
the next five years.
With offices in
Birmingham, Mich.,
Ann Arbor, Mich.,
and Chicago, their
goals include adding
offices in the Midwest,
revenue growth of 300
percent and adding 50 to 75 employees to
Amherst Partners’ current 15.
And the company’s co-founders are willing
to take risks to succeed.
“There was a point where it looked like we
would not make it,” Eisenberg says. “But we
were not going to let failing be an option, and
persevered. We took the risks and have ultimately done well in an industry and an environment where many do not succeed. ….
Some of it has worked well, some not as well.
But without trying, we do not have the
chance to grow.”
Eisenberg and Aspatore plan to continue to
focus the company on networking and building the enterprise value of the firm and
investing money back into the company as it
is earned.
Eisenberg and Aspatore emphasize
that family comes first. They encourage
team members to be involved in the
community and they support employees’
involvement in opportunities for which
they have a passion.
