About Us

K-2 Partners brings a new approach to Mergers & Acquisition services in the Document and Information Management market sectors. The founding members of K-2 Partners, Bob Miller, Vlad Vasak and Ross Engelman are veterans of more than 150 acquisitions, more than 60 years of industry management and over 80 years of hands-on management experience in service-based B2B environments.

In addition to the founding members, K-2 Partners also has a globally based Board of Advisors. Strategically located around the world, each advisor is a leading industry expert in their respective region. Together, they provide local representation; leverage their broad industry connections as well as their understanding of local business procedures and customs.

All members of the K-2 Partners team are leaders in the development of the Records Management, Data Protection, Secure Destruction, Digital Document Print and Fulfillment, as well as Document Imaging and Business Process Management industries globally.

They have world-wide knowhow with a local focus. They have extensive international management experience and perspective, having operated businesses and closed mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures throughout North America, Europe/UK, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. However, with a US-base, they are firmly grounded and closely in touch with the major strategic buyers and US local market players.

Their individual knowledge, skills and experience perfectly complement each other. They started business ventures from scratch, have been individual entrepreneurs and have experienced the pitfalls and heartbreaks along the way. They have industry knowhow, business acumen and street smarts that only come from years of operating a business. All are well-respected industry veterans in their respective segments.

Having been on both the buying and selling side of transactions and then integrating and managing the acquired businesses, they know what buyers and sellers are looking for and the pitfalls to avoid. They know how to maximize value, provide flexibility, and position a deal for fast completion. Therefore, as buyer/operators themselves, they are uniquely qualified to present your business to the buyers and operators.

Knowing how to position the offer is important, but there will be no deal without buyers. At K-2 Partners, we have the highest level of industry connections. All members of the K-2 Partners executive team have been industry-shapers for many years. At the leading edge, they are well respected, knowledgeable and well connected. They know all the players.

This means that we will present your business the way a buyer wants to see it. We can uncover aspects that may not have been apparent to others; we can outline various integration strategies, and synergies - all to make your business more valuable to the buyer.

For a deal to work, it must add value for both parties. We can show the buyer how to extract maximum value, by proposing innovative, resourceful solutions, which in turn makes your business more valuable.

Even if you are not sure that you are ready to sell just yet, talk to us. At K-2 Partners we offer a strategic advisory service. We can help you assess the options, propose innovative solutions or even recommend short-term ways to improve the marketability and value of your business, for when you do decide to sell.

For professional, results-oriented M&A knowhow focused on your specific industry, K-2 Partners stands alone.
