Who We Do It For
Founder
You've built the business. IT has kept up. But now the stack is showing friction — and the right call isn't obvious without a senior lens on it.
M&A
Eleven transactions. We know exactly what acquirers look at — and what kills deals at the technology diligence stage.
Operator
Strategy, security, and infrastructure decisions compound. You want a partner who's made these calls at your stage, not one learning on your dime.
If any of this is your company, we should talk.

About Aeolus
Van Murray founded Aeolus after three exits and eleven M&A transactions — to give growing businesses access to the kind of IT leadership that used to require a full-time C-suite hire.
Strategy and roadmap first. Execution second. One partner who knows your business.
"The personal touch, the expertise to work through problems proactively, and not being just a number."About Van and Aeolus →
