Blue Ocean Global Technology Expands Capabilities with Acquisition of Capital Expert Services
In a strategic move to bolster its economic analysis and merger and acquisition (MA) valuation expertise, Blue Ocean Global Technology has announced its majority interest acquisition of Capital Expert Services, LLC (CapEx). This acquisition is a significant enhancement for the New York-based firm, which is already well-known for its litigation consulting and online reputation management services.
Founded by Dr. Alexandra R. Lajoux, a prominent figure in the field of corporate governance and a recent inductee into the NACD 2024 Directorship 100, CapEx specializes in providing sophisticated economic analysis, valuation expertise, and expert witness services for complex business litigation. Dr. Lajoux will retain a substantial equity stake in the newly combined company, positioning her to further accelerate CapEx's economic consulting and MA valuation advisory segments.
The CEO of Blue Ocean, Sameer Somal, expressed enthusiasm about Dr. Lajoux's inclusion in their leadership team, emphasizing that her extensive experience spanning over three decades will be invaluable for the combined entity's growth and direction.
Dr. Lajoux remarked on the promising potential of the merger, stating, "Joining forces with Blue Ocean is an exciting milestone for CapEx. Together, we can bring enhanced expertise and transformative solutions to the fields of MA valuation, expert witness services, and economic analysis. This collaboration is a testament to the power of shared vision and purpose."
This acquisition will allow Blue Ocean to invest further in the exclusive Capital Experts Registry™, a community of distinguished business professionals that CapEx has cultivated since its inception in 2016. Members of this registry will gain privileged access to Blue Ocean’s extensive resources and intellectual capital, which can significantly enhance their capabilities in navigating complex corporate challenges.
John Hotta, co-founder of CapEx, has also voiced his satisfaction with the acquisition, stating his commitment to ensuring a legacy of corporate governance through a new venture called Governance Central. This reinforces CapEx’s commitment to upholding high standards of integrity and governance in corporate transactions.
The merger has received unanimous support from the CapEx Advisory Board, which is made up of notable figures, including legal experts and former government officials. Francis X. Pileggi, a member of the board and managing partner at Lewis Brisbois, welcomed the alliance. He stressed the importance of expertise in the courtroom, pointing out that such collaborations can directly contribute to the pursuit of justice.
CapEx has built its reputation since 2016 as a trusted partner for law firms and corporations involved in high-stakes disputes. Its methodology combines rigorous economic analysis with the latest market intelligence, providing clients with thorough insights into business complexities, including corporate governance and economic impact assessments.
Blue Ocean operates with a mission to provide tailored strategic advisory services across various sectors, focusing on aspects like digital transformation and risk management. The collaboration with CapEx will enable Blue Ocean to further leverage advanced analytical tools essential for navigating the evolving landscape of corporate law and economic consulting.
This exciting merger signifies a robust joining of two entities dedicated to excellence, positioning them to meet the increasing demands of their clientele, and setting a new standard in the industry.
