“I have known Chris for over 15 years and through our work together on a number of public company boards, have seen firsthand the depth of his counsel and the range of issues he can speak to,” said Mark Holdsworth, Founder and Managing Partner of The Holdsworth Group. “I am thrilled to welcome someone of his caliber to our growing team and know that his decades of experience helping companies navigate countless situations will make him an invaluable resource for his clients.”

Over the last 15 years Chris has served on the boards of six public companies, four private equity-sponsored companies, three private entities, and five not-for-profit organizations. Mr. Mitchell graduated summa cum laude from the University of Alabama.

“I could not be more excited to start this new chapter with Mark and the rest of the talented team he has assembled,” stated Mr. Mitchell. “The combination of niche, off-the-run investment opportunities with high-level advisory and consulting services is unlike anything currently available in the market. I look forward to helping Mark continue to build the firm and working closely with our existing and future family office and corporate clients.”
