Virginia Hyland, Stephen von Muenster, and Vince Meoli have founded SQUAD M&A, a specialist advisory firm.
The firm aims to guide independent creative, PR, media, tech, and digital agencies through sales, mergers, or partnerships.
"I have experienced the entire journey of a founder from building and selling my business to Havas and I’ve walked in the shoes of the seller and the acquirer after overseeing the acquisition of Hotglue by Havas in 2024. Selling an agency is one of the most significant milestones in a founder’s career,"
says Hyland, considered a pioneer in the industry and ex-CEO of Havas Media ANZ.
SQUAD M&A brings together senior experts to ensure every transaction achieves the right financial and cultural fit.
