Most notably, Len spent the majority of his banking career at Headwaters MB. In 2014, his lead banker work for the Lapmaster acquisition of Peter Wolters GmbH was recognized both by M&A Advisor and Atlas Awards as the 2014 Cross-Border Deal of the Year winner in the category of Corporate/Strategic Acquisition between $50 to $100 million.
