Built by people who have been at the table.

Brian spent fourteen years at JP Morgan and BT Alex Brown as a fixed income trader, capital markets specialist, and investment banker — working at the institutional level where large corporate transactions get structured and priced. He knows how sophisticated buyers build their offers and where sellers typically leave value on the table.

He founded Cavanaugh Partners in 2014 to put that expertise exclusively in the corner of veterinary practice sellers. Every client transaction set a new high-water mark for veterinary valuation — a track record that became the foundation for VetValue Connect.

Carson spent eight years advising on healthcare mergers and financings at RBC Capital Markets — including the $430 million sale of CAPNA to VCA in 2016. He has sat on the advisory side of the table for the kinds of transactions that corporate buyers run every day. That experience is what he brings to independent sellers who are navigating that process for the first and only time.

Over the course of his career he has helped veterinary practice owners secure some of the highest general veterinary valuations on record — and that experience is embedded directly into how VetValue Connect is built and run.

Kathleen has spent more than fifteen years inside the veterinary industry — working alongside practice owners as a trusted advisor, and sitting across the table from them as a buyer managing significant acquisition volume across multiple markets.

She knows what drives value in a transaction and understands the operational realities behind it. More than anything, she's an advocate for independent practice owners — and the first person you'll talk to at VetValue. She makes sure that from the very first conversation, you feel informed, in control, and never alone in the process.
