A. James DeHayes
Jim DeHayes leads the DCG merger and acquisition support team to create opportunities tailored to a profile defined in advance by the client. Because of the confidential and intensely personal nature of this work, he is able to service a limited number of strategic buyers.
Mr DeHayes’ senior management relationships throughout the industry, coupled with unique strategic vision and market intelligence, offer a creative approach to developing merger and acquisition opportunities. Many companies have concluded that traditional methods, including auctions, are less productive than friendly, privately negotiated agreements.
Mr DeHayes is also an authority in marketing and distribution strategy and implementation for the financial services industry. He has successfully guided clients through the complex process of developing new distribution systems tailored for new products, evolving existing distribution into higher levels of productivity and profitability, and adapting distribution to new competitive realities.
Prior to founding DCG in 1983, Mr DeHayes served as Chief Marketing Officer for a major diversified financial services company. As a consultant, his counsel has been sought by clients in all sectors of financial services. His credentials include alumnus Harvard Business School Owner President Manager Program and graduate of Leadership in Professional Services, Chartered Life Underwriter and Chartered Finance Consultant from the American College, and an MBA from the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University.
Mr DeHayes has addressed numerous industry conferences, serves as North American Development Director for the International Insurance Society as well as a member of Life Insurance Council of New York (LICONY), American Bankers Insurance Association, and the Bank Insurance and Securities
