Today, W. Capra, the premier end-to-end consulting and services business, announced the appointment of Tony Miller as Partner. Tony will focus primarily on the expansion of W. Capra’s M&A services.
This news comes two months after W. Capra’s announcement of a new service offering dedicated to early-stage Mergers & Acquisitions for Convenience and Downstream Energy Retailing, spearheaded by Partner, Lisa Biggs. “Tony and I have worked together serving this industry for over 20 years. There is no stronger leader and advisor to help all players navigate the complexities of M&A and to drive the greatest value for each transaction. The M&A environment is highly competitive in this channel and Tony’s experience will be a tremendous asset to our team and our clients.”
Miller brings extensive expertise to W. Capra’s M&A services, leveraging over 30 years in the Convenience and Fuel Retailing, and CPG industries. Miller recently served as President and CEO of Southwest Convenience Stores and MAPCO Express (subsidiaries of Delek US Holding, a fortune 500 midstream/downstream company). Under his guidance, Delek successfully developed and executed a comprehensive strategic growth plan designed to maximize shareholder value. This plan included enhancing brand awareness, optimizing the retail portfolio, increasing sales and revenues, creating an organization centered on operational disciplines, and substantially growing net income while selling both retail organizations for a combined market valuation exceeding $900 million. In addition to Miller’s vast sell-side and buy-side M&A experience with both large and small transactions, he has an extensive background in sales, marketing, operations, and executive leadership.
Miller brings this wealth of knowledge to the W. Capra M&A services that are structured to help investors, strategic buyers, and sellers successfully navigate the field. Miller and W. Capra’s combined experience in managing large-scale change and acquisition integration positions their team to work effectively alongside clients in early-stage M&A planning for deal structures as well as validation of economics and synergies. Their deeper dive due diligence delivers a roadmap to capture planned synergies and optimize the business pre- and post-sale.
“In today’s competitive world of convenience retailing where brand equity, customer loyalty, and prime real estate are essential, mergers and acquisitions are key levers to value creation. I look forward to delivering strategies and portfolios that capture optimal transaction value and detailed action plans to ensure these benefits are realized,” said Miller.
Accountability for successful transactions starts and stops with W. Capra. They bring a common vision and roadmap to integrate people, processes, technology, and data. Their team and M&A playbook truly set them apart as they rally clients around aligned goals and objectives and help them navigate and deliver on change. The addition of Miller’s extensive experience and proven track record significantly enhances the team’s capabilities, better enabling clients to optimize assets and drive stronger results at each stage of the M&A lifecycle.
