Our Team
Andrew Blazenko, CFA, CBV
Andrew has dedicated his career to mergers and acquisitions, starting in 2009 with roles in small business valuation and corporate finance at a public company. In 2013, he transitioned to sell-side advisory, specializing in businesses valued between $5 million and $300 million. During this time, Andrew became a partner in the firm, honing his expertise in identifying what makes businesses attractive to buyers.
In 2017, while continuing his M&A advisory work, Andrew began acquiring businesses on the side, targeting high-margin, niche opportunities. His investments include a property services company, a mechanical engineering firm, and a first-aid training school. These acquisitions, combined with his extensive advisory experience, led to the founding of Eterna Equity with Michael and Josh. Today, Andrew focuses on acquiring and growing enduring, profitable businesses.
