The Inner Voice of Strategic Leadership
Tales of Arbitrage Kate Welling and Mario Gabelli "Merger Masters is a rare combination of fascinating stories about legendary dealmakers and battle-seasoned techniques for dealmaking.

There is no one better to draw out the lessons than Kate Welling and Mario Gabelli." —Paul Johnson, Fordham University, coauthor of Pitch the Perfect Investment: The Essential Guide to Winning on Wall Street $29.95 / £24.00 cloth 978-0-231-19042-8 November 2018 352 pages

This work is a much-needed addition to the canon of board-level best practices."—Michael E. Raynor, author of The Strategy Paradox and coauthor of The Innovator's Solution
"This book is timely. By emphasizing the topics of wisdom, the high vs. low roads, and ethics, the authors make a unique contribution. While some of today’s university-based leadership and management researchers tend to ignore ethics, organizational context, and practical business considerations, the authors' approach is sensitive to those applied concerns." —James O'Toole, Daniels Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver

"When I first came to Silicon Valley, I was struck by how much people teach and learn from one another. In this book, Tren continues that spirit by sharing his own learning from others—and explains how investment judgments and decisions are made in the world of tech start-ups."
