Meet the Minds Behind ivonarethlusqo
Our diverse team brings decades of combined experience in business acquisitions, financial analysis, and entrepreneurial ventures. We've walked the path from corporate consulting to successful business ownership ourselves.
Celeste Bramford
Lead Business Acquisition Consultant
Started her career in investment banking before transitioning to small business acquisitions in 2019. Celeste has personally guided over 180 successful business transfers across retail, hospitality, and service sectors. She believes every business has untold stories that reveal their true potential — you just need to know where to look.
Thaddeus Wynwick
Financial Analysis Specialist
Twenty-three years in corporate finance taught Thaddeus that numbers tell stories, but context reveals truth. After acquiring his own manufacturing business in 2021, he discovered the gap between theoretical analysis and real-world business operations. Now he focuses on helping others decode financial statements with practical wisdom.
Ophelia Hardwick
Strategic Planning Director
Former management consultant turned serial entrepreneur. Ophelia has acquired and successfully operated four different businesses since 2020, from a local bakery to a digital marketing agency. Her unconventional approach combines rigorous planning with intuitive market sensing — a skill she's eager to share with fellow business enthusiasts.
Real Experience, Practical Insights
We're not just consultants who've read about business acquisitions — we're practitioners who've lived through the late-night due diligence sessions, the challenging negotiations, and the exhilarating moment when you finally hold the keys to your new venture. Our approach combines analytical rigor with the hard-won wisdom that only comes from actual experience in the field.
