Margaret Whelan on How Capital Is Fueling Innovation

摘要

During her career-20-plus years as a Wall Street investment banker and operating her own boutique firm since 2014-Margaret Whelan has participated in more than $20 billion worth of transactions, representing builders for sale and raising capital for construction companies. One such deal involved fellow Ireland native Gerard McCaughey's Entekra, which, after failing to secure capital with another advisor, brought on Whelan, who brokered a $45 million deal with Louisiana-Pacific to buy half of the off-site construction firm. Whelan also was involved in the acquisition of another off-site builder, Innovation Construction Group (ICG), by PulteGroup in early 2020. Other clients include RC1 Builders, Thomas James Homes, Thrive Home Builders, and Trumark.
