After 45 years building a company with my name on the door, I wanted to ensure continuity and growth opportunities for our employees and clients. Jonathan not only found the right buyer, but he also orchestrated a fair process and negotiation embraced by both sides and was instrumental in the successful conclusion.

Jonathan helped us understand the significant issues with a buy side opportunity, eventually rejecting it. When a sell side opportunity materialized, we re-engaged Manda to help us through the transaction. His experience, creativity, and perspectives helped us get to a deal that we could not pass up. The support we received every step of the way, including his attendance at every due-diligence meeting, enabled us to keep our operational momentum intact while the sales process was expertly handled.

What a wonderful and worthwhile experience to have partnered with Jonathan in a successful business venture. His tenacity and exceptional insight helped us build a great company. We sold it for almost 20 times our original investment, in just 4 years. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Over the course of six months, we went through a very challenging acquisition process. Huge thanks to Jonathan for helping us navigate the turbulence and bring us through the other side with the optimum structure and negotiating strategy. He was a great addition to the team and we wouldn’t have been able to move forward without his guidance!

Jonathan critically evaluated my business, developed a strategy targeting prospective strategic partners, and provided a methodical approach to achieving the goal. He built relationships with relevant industry players, negotiated adeptly, and my company was acquired based on his efforts. Most importantly, Jonathan taught me lifelong lessons along the way given his vast experience and supportive nature. Thank you doesn’t begin to recognize the value Jonathan provided.

It has been a real pleasure working with Jonathan as we explored the opportunity of selling our company. He provided a strategic framework that allowed us to be proactive versus reactive, and he ensured that we stayed focused as we evaluated various opportunities. Perhaps most important was his leadership, guidance and support that ultimately led to a successful acquisition!

I built a media company over 32 years, that produced and distributed television content for international markets. I reached a point where I needed to evaluate how best to position the company and decide on the next stage of my career. Jonathan assisted me with the sale of the company, guiding me through the negotiation process to achieve a successful outcome and sale. I am thrilled working with the new company and my role within the leadership team. I couldn’t have done it without his support.

I brought Jonathan into my company to help me work through my business strategy for AskingCanadians and my data products. Jonathan has an incredible knowledge of the data industry and he helped me to articulate my vision for AskingCanadians. It was a pleasure working with him.

Jonathan Latsky
Jonathan offers extensive experience in creating value in marketing services and technology companies and realizing that value through strategic exits. He began his career launching a company that offered custom databases to marketers, which he successfully sold. In 1991, he founded Syntony Marketing Inc., a database services company serving the North American direct marketing community. After six years of 100%+ annual growth, Syntony was sold to InfoUSA and Jonathan became Canadian President. In 2004, Jonathan acquired Uthink, an online marketing and market research company targeting the student demographic, which he sold in 2008. In the first two years, Uthink went from a loss to 7-figure profitability.
He served as Director of the Canadian Marketing Association, founded and chaired the CMA’s Marketing Technology and Database Intelligence Council, and served on the CMA’s Ethics and Privacy Committee. Jonathan has an MBA from Ivey and is a MaRS volunteer advisor, mentoring local entrepreneurs.
Jonathan has since turned his attention to helping fellow entrepreneurs with a focus on identifying, and bringing to a successful conclusion, mutually beneficial exits.
