Steve Tye

Managing Director, Croft & Bender ACG Atlanta

As a member of ACG Atlanta since 2005, Steve Tye has worked to extend the chapter’s reach and bring in new members with a diverse range of experiences and perspectives to the board.

That commitment to outreach is evident in some of the roles he’s taken on, including serving as current board chair for ACG Atlanta and as chair of M&A South, the largest networking event for middle-market dealmakers in the region.

“Steve has embraced ACG and showed the value that ACG brings to all stakeholders— middle-market companies, private equity, venture capital, investment bankers, service providers and others,” says Bill Wade, CEO of Company.com in Austin, Texas. Wade and Tye served together on the ACG Atlanta board of directors and on the M&A South committee.

M&A South’s appeal is supported by the numbers: 55% of the 1,150 attendees at the most recent event came from outside of the state. There were 5,500 one-on-one meetings and 18,000 meeting requests.

Tye’s lasting impact has been in seeking to recruit board members with different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. The board recently adopted a diversity, equity and inclusion pledge.

“We intend to be intentional and consistent with our commitment through regular events and to hold ourselves accountable to the pledge,” Tye says.

The chapter is also recruiting more corporate dealmakers to broaden ACG’s reach beyond private equity and middle-market advisors.

Tye credits ACG with helping him make personal and professional connections.

“There really is no other place to bring together professionals, all with the common goal of supporting middle-market dealmaking,” he says.—AM
