Eaton Square is pleased to announce its growth on the East Coast of the US with the addition of Popper and Company, a biotechnology and medical technology-focused strategy and M&A advisory firm.
This is an important step for Eaton Square as it continues to grow in the United States, linking US and Asia Pacific healthcare innovators with capital and investors.
Popper and Company, founded in 2003 by Caroline Popper, MD and Ken Walz, helps clients in clinical diagnostics, medical devices, life science tools, and digital health, providing guidance on a variety of commercialization challenges.
The biotechnology and life sciences sector is key to Eaton Square’s continued growth as a cross-border M&A and capital services firm. Given the current global environment, biotechnology is predicted to continue to be extremely active in M&A activity driven by initiatives from large global and regional pharmaceutical companies.
“Eaton Square is focused on assisting clients to grow across the US and internationally. We believe the combination of Popper and Company with our existing Life Sciences and Healthcare capabilities significantly enhances our ability to assist clients in the US and Asia Pacific to undertake transactions and attract capital globally.” Nick Weston, Managing Principal, Eaton Square.
“We are looking forward to initiating global and regional cross-border solutions for pharma, biotech and med-tech sectors. These now include M&A, debt and equity solutions, strategy and advisory. This will give Eaton Square a strong biotech, healthcare, device and A.I. presence in the US and Asia Pacific,” Bob Atwill, Eaton Square Principal.
“At Popper and Company, we are excited to be bringing our deep industry expertise to Eaton Square and we look forward to helping grow the firm’s presence in life sciences and med-tech in the U.S. and globally,” Ken Walz, Eaton Square Principal.
“I am excited to welcome the Popper and Company team to enable us to service more clients looking to grow in the healthcare space. Their presence in the Baltimore/DC area will also strengthen our presence in the East Coast of the United States,” Reece Adnams, Eaton Square CEO.
