Role of Baird’s Global Investment Banking Team
As the industrial and technology sectors continue to converge, Baird leveraged our cross-sector teamwork approach to access and deliver multiple suitors from both arenas. We were able to combine our strong relationships and expertise across the industrial, IoT and software sectors – and drive a competitive process to find the best buyer for Telular.
To deliver this result, Baird’s investment banking professionals contacted a broad group of strategic and financial buyers across the industrial, technology, software and IoT sectors. From this group, we efficiently narrowed the field and brought Telular multiple compelling options from industrial, technology and financial buyers.
