Ian Faler

With years of experience in acquisitions and business planning, I excel at driving strategic growth through identifying and integrating high-potential businesses. At eAcquisition, I lead acquisitions across the U.S., with a focus on founder-led businesses seeking seamless transitions. My work ensures that legacies are honored, staff are retained, and quality care standards are maintained.  

My expertise in business analysis and management consulting supports the development of tailored strategies to secure successful acquisitions. I am committed to fostering trusted partnerships, enhancing operational efficiencies, and delivering value while facilitating smooth transitions for business owners and their teams.

Founder

We are a leading acquisition service working with our exclusive partners to build out a portfolio of successful businesses.

I'm the Founder & CEO of Finalis®, a software platform reimagining how deals get done in the private markets.

We started by solving a big pain point in the industry: regulatory compliance.  Today, Finalis powers a growing network of independent investment bankers, helping them navigate licensing and oversight, streamline deal execution, and unlock new opportunities through automation and AI.  With hundreds of bankers and billions in transactions, Finalis is becoming the system of record for private market deals.

Before Finalis, I worked as an M&A attorney at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, managing deals for leading private equity firms and corporate clients.  I also supported cross-border investments at a London-based private equity firm, with a focus on Europe and Australia.

Beyond Finalis, I'm passionate about supporting ventures that create impact.  I'm involved with the World Identity Network (launched in collaboration with Sir Richard Branson), which uses blockchain to provide digital IDs for vulnerable communities.  I've also worked on refugee initiatives with Human Rights Watch, Chobani’s Tent Foundation, and the National Immigration Forum.

I previously taught corporate law and regulation at Hult International Business School.  As an Argentine-American, I'm deeply committed to helping entrepreneurs across Latin America scale and raise capital globally.  I'm a Limited Partner with Alaya Capital, one of Argentina’s leading venture firms.
