Sandy Mackay

Managing Director

I am responsible for transaction origination and execution across our M&A, fairness opinion, valuation, expert opinion, and capital raising platforms.  I have a unique blend of transaction structuring and valuation expertise involving both public and private companies and across a wide range of sectors. 

Prior to joining MPA, I held senior corporate development roles at Peerage Capital, GFL Environmental, and Progressive Waste Solutions. In these roles, I was focused on the execution of each company’s consolidation strategy, with responsibilities for valuation, term sheet negotiation, due diligence, documentation, and closing mechanics.  I have significant experience negotiating partnership agreements with unique transaction structures in both Canada and the United States.

I began my career at Blair Franklin Capital Partners, where I spent six years as an analyst/associate in M&A advisory. In this role, I gained significant transaction experience, with a focus on valuations/fairness opinions, sell-side M&A, and project finance advisory mandates across a range of sectors.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is training and developing people who are new to the profession. I take pride in helping our younger staff become more confident and effective professionals.
