Rakesh Kotecha

There are many unusual and intricate problems that can arise during a divestiture or an acquisition. My job is to foresee those difficulties and find solutions. I am a Managing Director at PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance LLC and the co-lead of Industrial Products. I am based in Chicago but enjoy visiting my extended family back in the UK.

Even after over 28 years of transaction experience in the US and the UK, I can truly say my job is never boring. Quite the opposite. Each day is different and you never know what will happen. I have advised on more than 300 transactions and each one presented a new or different type of challenge we helped to overcome. I specialize in divestitures and especially corporate carve outs but have also advised extensively on acquisitions and on public company takeovers, public company sales, leveraged buyouts, employee stock ownership plan sales, and shareholder advisory services.

The greatest part of having these experiences, is that I have accumulated such an incredible professional network reaching across the globe. When I am not helping clients achieve their goals, I am working on my own! I support numerous nonprofits in the US and UK and enjoy the time I get to spend with my family.
