"I have known Ziad Abdelnour since 2002. He is a triple threat, with strong analytical and corporate finance skills which complements his institutional private equity network second to none. When Blackhawk is involved in a transaction they do their homework!! This is appreciated by private equity investors and bankers alike. Ziad' s hard-charging approach to "Getting The Deal Done RIGHT" gives him the intangibles required in the competitive equity environment, and keeps everyone on pace"
