From our clients
“This team is imbued with an immensely high degree of responsibility. In the investment world that means extra work to become an expert in the sector and the company involved. They put together information always showing that extra spark of creativity— but underneath that is a foundation of serious expertise.”

Our Culture
Yes, we’re in the investment banking business. And while that tells you what we do, it doesn’t speak to the how. After all, it’s the experience our clients have working with CG Sawaya Partners, as much as the results, that make them return again and again.
We are rigorously client-centric, not deal-centric — driven by a deep, empathic understanding of what drives our clients’ business and what drives them as people. We pride ourselves on our EQ as much as our IQ which helps us maintain an holistic view of both buyers and sellers.
Our work is as much about the day-to-day journey as the destination. We take advantage of our clients’ and our combined expertise. We work non-hierarchically with a “we’re all in this together” mentality.
There is no off-the-shelf “CG Sawaya Way”. We are guided always by the style, culture and specific needs and desires of each of our clients. Our solutions are tailored and our materials (in style and content) are highly personalized.
To us this is more than a business, it’s our passion. With consistent, high-level involvement, our clients experience our work as going “above and beyond.”
Our experience in the consumer arena is vast and our category knowledge second to none. We value objectivity and never shoot-from-the-hip. We pride ourselves on our thought leadership and bring it to bear on behalf of each of our clients.
