Our Team

Michael Gerbasi, President

Michael Gerbasi is the managing partner of the Sager Company and leads all engagements, specializing in the management consulting and executive recruiting activities that transform businesses and accelerate success. Over the years, Michael has shown the ability to establish relationships at all levels of ownership & management within an organization. He is an accomplished communicator and adept at conducting business at the C-level.

Michael is bold, relentless, passionate, unbridled, energetic, and decidedly different.

Michael has been heavily involved in strategic initiatives for his clients and is often a member of the team during acquisitions, divestitures, and sales of companies. He has a keen sense of talent management and the vision to guide clients as they align their management team with objectives of the business, leading to better execution and greater company/shareholder value.

For private equity firms, Michael is relied upon to perform due diligence of talent & strategy in prospective acquisitions.

Private, family and closely held businesses interested in selling to private equity firms find Michael’s guidance an asset when selecting a current market-based assessment of their management teams. Through his recommendations and leadership, expectations are established early in the engagement and focus on an action-based plan for management.

Ultimately, the process results in better-performing companies, and historically, a higher multiple/valuation of earnings to transaction price at exit.
