Managment consulting firm Stax has appointed Vince Zosa, a PwC and Treacy & Company alum, to the role of managing director.

Zosa will be based out of the firm’s flagship Boston office.

Launched in 1994, Stax is a Wall Street-focused consultancy that works with institutional investors to buy companies. Investors such as private equity firms can consult Stax to determine if a company they’re looking to buy will deliver the expected returns. 

One of Stax’s main specialties is commercial due diligence. That’s the process of helping a buyer find out whether a company being considered for an acquisition has revenue growth potential.

Stax also provides a variety of other services including sell-side consulting. It can assist a company’s senior leadership with tasks such as finding the optimal way to sell a subsidiary.

Vince Zosa is joining Stax from Treacy & Company, another Boston-headquartered consultancy where he worked as a partner. At Treacy & Company, Zosa led the industrials practices, which provides consulting services to companies that produce manufacturing equipment and related products.

Zosa also had other responsibilities at the firm. He is credited with, among other achievements, helping Treacy & Company launch a data analytics startup.

Before Treacy & Company, Zosa held project leader roles at PRTM, the management consulting arm of Big Four accounting firm PwC. He holds an MBA from The Wharton School.

Zosa’s “unique background will provide Stax with an accelerated approach to extend and expand our private equity relationships; especially around value creation and data analytics offerings within industrials, B2B services, and technology,” commented Stax executive Paul Edwards.

Zosa is taking up the managing director role about a year after private equity firm Blue Point Capital Partners made an investment in Stax. 

At the time, Stax said that it will use the investment to accelerate its revenue growth. Stax executive Jayson Traxler explained that Zosa’s appointment to the leadership team is “part of Stax’s growth strategy plan to hire senior talent which our equity sponsor Blue Point Capital Partners fully supports.”

It’s possible that additional executive hires will follow suit.

By adding outside talent to the leadership team, a consultancy gains not only additional expertise but also client relationships that can open new deal opportunities down the road. This is especially valuable for a consultancy like Stax that is actively investing in top line growth.
