Jason Ewing
MANAGING DIRECTOR, MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
Gary and I met over 15 years ago. Since then we have collaborated together on many successful sell-side M&A projects, all made easier by our highly compatible and client focused work styles. So joining the team at Arakelian & Associates was a natural next step.
For over two decades, I’ve been passionate about helping businesses grow through mergers and acquisitions. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of companies—both public and private—helping them navigate complex deals and partnerships. My experience spans everything from new ventures and private equity to international businesses, with a focus on creating opportunities for growth through strategic collaborations, joint ventures, and sell-side projects.
My leading principle has always been (and continues to be) serving clients in an exceptional and tailored way, bringing all my M&A experience to the table. Tenacity, creativity, and a passion for what I do, are hallmarks of who I am as a person (though will share that I do bring a sense of fun when I can – M&A deals can be an arduous journey). Rest assured, along with Gary and the team, I’ll be here at your side to help make the process as smooth as possible.
During non-working hours, you can find me on the golf course, in the vegetable garden or practicing Mandarin with my adopted daughter from China. I’ve also even been known to teach a wine class and perform comedy at Second City in Chicago. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have visited over 40 countries. Although my all-around favorite is Italy, it’s hard to beat seeing King Tut in his original tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
