Gary Appelbaum

Executive Advisor
410-587-0064 LinkedIn Profile

An M&A leader with expertise in executing acquisitions, integrations, divestitures, carve-outs, and diligence across the deal lifecycle, Gary helps our clients solve their transaction complexities. He has worked on several large, global, and complex transactions, as well as smaller deals, and brings 25 years of M&A best practices, including 16 years with Johnson & Johnson Consumer.

“We are in a technology-driven world where reliance on technology increases daily, if not hourly. For businesses to succeed today they must understand, appreciate, and embrace how technology supports strategy and has the greatest insight and expertise of cross-functional interdependencies. Technology is at the center of all we do today, and this will continue and get even stronger in the future.” — Gary Appelbaum

During his time at J&J, Gary served as the global TSA/RTSA lead for the company’s acquisition of Pfizer’s consumer healthcare business, including well-known brands such as Listerine®, Purell®, Lubriderm® and Desitin®. Gary also led J&J carve-out transactions, on the buy-side from GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) and on the sell-side to both corporate strategic and private equity buyers. After J&J, Gary was a Managing Director at Accordion Partners, a private equity-focused financial consulting firm. Earlier in his career, Gary was the CFO/CAO at Lancit Media Entertainment and VP, Controller at Madison Square Garden Corporation, and was a CPA.

Outside of work, Gary loves to ski – both snow and water. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, has two daughters, enjoys traveling, and has a passion for Maine.
