Don S. Matso
Founder
The Valere Group

Speaker Biography:
For more than thirty years, Don Matso has worked with a broad range of companies and has helped them earn hundreds of millions of dollars. Using his special expertise in what he calls �Strategic Value Creation�, he guides private sector business owners in maximizing their company�s market value long before they reach a key transitional event such as a merger or sale.

His skill in improving profitability, performance and market value has been developed over years through his experience in key management and operational positions - such as building a business from a concept to millions in revenue, culminating in a sale; in operations and senior management roles in the corporate world with firms like Boise Cascade and Weyerhaeuser Corporation; and, in managing a mergers and acquisition advisory service for a division of Smith Barney/Citigroup.

Today, his firm, The Valēre Group, brings his experience to private sector business owners who realize there will be a crucial transitional event in their future but are not sure of how to be �positioned� for that eventuality. His focus on strategic value creation prepares owners for this transition by managing the business keying on both profits and market value.
