“It was a great pleasure to work with Prabin on the MBO of CJR. Prabin is clearly an experienced corporate financier, and was instrumental in helping us complete the transaction – drawing on his experience to work very collaboratively with the deal team to support us through what was a very smooth process!”

“Working with the Meridian team was a pleasure. Prabin was instrumental in pulling the information together and presenting it back to all sides in a way that helped push the deal through, often having to turn around projections with speed for the momentum to be carried forward. A great asset to the deal.”
