Harris DeWese, chairman and CEO of Compass Capital Partners, has advised companies on more than 100 transactions, and on about 20 occasions has sat across from Colville at the bargaining table. He calls Colville “one of the best deal makers I’ve ever encountered. Chris has a superb financial mind and controls a transaction extremely well. He’s a pleasure to negotiate with, even if you don’t always win your point.
