Viper Partners, a leading sell-side mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, is pleased to announce the addition of two professionals to its business development team: Nicholi Wozniak and Josh Light, both joining as Vice Presidents of Business Development. These strategic appointments reflect the firm’s continued expansion into high-growth, fragmented industries experiencing increasing interest from private equity firms and institutional investors.

Nicholi Wozniak – Vice President of Business Development, Business Services

Nicholi Wozniak will lead business development initiatives within the business services sector, with a particular focus on commercial landscaping and pest control.

These industries continue to attract institutional investment due to their recurring revenue models, fragmented competitive landscapes, and opportunities for consolidation.

In his role, Nicholi will focus on developing relationships with business owners, identifying attractive M&A opportunities, and advising entrepreneurs seeking strategic partnerships, recapitalizations, or full exits.

Josh Light – Vice President of Business Development, Business Services

Josh Light joins Viper Partners as Vice President of Business Development, focusing on mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as medical real estate transactions.

The MEP sector continues to attract significant interest from private equity investors due to its essential service offerings, recurring maintenance revenue, fragmented ownership landscape, and opportunities for strategic consolidation.

In his role, Josh will develop relationships with business owners and operators across the MEP industry, identifying opportunities for strategic partnerships, recapitalizations, and business sales. His focus on medical real estate will also complement Viper Partners’ established healthcare advisory practice, helping healthcare providers and property owners evaluate real estate monetization and transaction opportunities.

Expanding Viper Partners’ Reach

The addition of Nicholi and Josh represents another important step in Viper Partners’ strategy to broaden its advisory capabilities beyond its established healthcare M&A practice.

“We are excited to welcome Nicholi and Josh to the Viper Partners team as we continue to expand into new sectors where we see tremendous opportunities for business owners,” said Dave Branch, Founder of Viper Partners. “Commercial landscaping, pest control, HVAC, and the broader mechanical, electrical, and plumbing industries are all attracting significant institutional capital and experiencing continued consolidation. Combined with our growing focus on medical real estate, these additions strengthen our ability to connect business owners with the right strategic and financial partners while delivering the high-touch advisory experience that defines Viper Partners.”

With these additions, Viper Partners continues to invest in its business development infrastructure, expand its industry coverage, and strengthen relationships with business owners considering liquidity events or strategic growth partnerships.
