Mr. Lawrence, as head of corporate development for AspenTech and Avid Technology, led over 25 strategic transactions and played a central role in initiatives that tripled AspenTech’s revenue and expanded its market capitalization from $4 billion to $15 billion. He regularly reported to full boards of directors and special committees—including M&A and ad hoc governance committees tasked with ensuring arm’s-length transactions involving control shareholders—on matters involving transaction strategy, valuation, and deal structure.

Previously, Glover spent 15 years as an M&A investment banker at Morgan Stanley, Hambrecht & Quist, and McNamee Lawrence. In addition to leading complex advisory mandates, he oversaw firmwide training for new bankers on valuation methodology and due diligence. He also drafted and presented fairness opinions to boards of directors in support of contested and high-stakes transactions.

His areas of expertise include acquisition strategy, valuation analysis, board governance, fiduciary duties, fairness opinions, post-merger integration, and cross-border deal execution. He has extensive experience supporting transactions under heightened scrutiny due to control ownership, regulatory review, or shareholder activism.

Glover holds a BA in History from Yale University and an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business. He currently serves on the boards of multiple technology companies and advises CEOs, boards, and private equity firms on strategic growth and corporate development.
