Founded in 2012 by Becky E. Hites, a former Wall Street executive with extensive metals industry experience, as a boutique consulting firm focused on providing highly specialized services to clients in the metals, mining and manufacturing industries. Miss Hites has worked in the manufacturing industry from many angles giving her a unique and multi-dimensional perspective: * an equity analyst at a regionally recognized brokerage firm owned by a Fortune 100 company; * private M&A at a globally recognized engineering consulting group known for its developments in retail logistics and point-of-sale information capture systems; * in late-stage project finance with a German-based global bank; * business plan development with a boutique NY investment bank; * equity analysis at a major bank with a multi-year ranked Institutional Investor metals analyst; and * almost a decade doing global data management, price forecasting and consulting with steel industry guru Peter Marcus of World Steel Dynamics. While at Ro-Hum, the team was recognized for expertise in forecasting earnings by the WSJ (which required accurate company cost modeling and industry price & volume forecasting). Miss Hites has worked with teams that have arranged financing for consolidating businesses building on an established platform as well as valued and helped divest non-strategic pieces of mature businesses. We’ve developed and reviewed countless business plans for mgt teams as well as public and private company boards, both in the USA and around the world. We believe we are uniquely positioned to provide an unbiased analysis of a current situation and develop a multi-pronged strategy for achieving one’s goals. Miss Hites’ work has included analysis and valuation of companies in the al, cu & au, stainless & specialty steels, PET, paperboard & consumer packaging, scrap yards, iron foundry, industrial ceramics, lighting systems, REITS and other consumer product manufacturing industries.
