Edgar Warnholtz, CFA, is a Senior Analyst at Software Equity Group who brings a differentiated perspective through his experience sitting on the other side of the table as a buyside investor. This vantage point provides him with a clearer understanding of what buyers look for in software businesses and how to position companies for optimal M&A outcomes.

Edgar began his career at S&P Global Ratings in New York, where he covered infrastructure, project finance, and Latin American sovereign and corporate credits.
