Madaket Growth, announces merger of its M&A division to form new company, Cutwater Shift, LLC

NEW YORK - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- St. Louis, MO and New York, NY - Madaket Growth, LLC, a holding company of a family of specialty companies in financial, consulting, realty and insurance services, announces that is has formed a new company, Cutwater Shift, LLC, from the merger of its M&A division. Cutwater Shift has the powerful resource of another Madaket Growth company, Profit Growth International (PGI). PGI provides powerful programs for performance improvement with incentive recognition powered by Maritz Motivation Solutions, the St. Louis-based leader in global performance improvement rewards and incentives.

This service combination of Cutwater Shift with PGI also brings serious heft to the merger itself. Cutwater and PGI together deliver “Merger Precision”™, a highly-precise, proprietary prescription of financial and operational performance improvement methods owned and delivered by the powerful combination of Cutwater Shift (M&A) and Profit Growth International (profit growth curriculum).

According to Christopher D. Desloge, Chairman of Madaket Growth, “The client receives a powerful curriculum of procedures to increase company value before during and after a merger, and defeat the failures what we’ve coined as “Merger-Loss”: failures in culture change and the pervasive loss of productivity of personal effectiveness.” According to Mr. Desloge, “This “Merger-Loss” is based on proven research which results in massive loss in company value and extended “dysfunction time”. This loss can be as little as 15% where teams break down, become less effective, to catastrophic company valuation destruction of a failed merger. And between Cutwater Shift and PGI, Madaket Growth delivers on the promise of delivering innovative and high-value services to clients.”

Christopher Riley will serve as Chairman and Managing Member of Cutwater Shift. Mr. Riley has three decades of experience with a diverse background owning, operating, and keeping American companies focused on sustainability. He was Founding Partner in CR Shifft - Turnaround Specialists, and Founder of the Giving Legacy organization, an organization that works with family and corporate foundations that want to make a difference in philanthropy efficiently and effectively. Mr. Riley also has served as Interim CEO/COO/CFO for companies in growing or challenging environments where he analyzes and implements complex strategic plans for organizations looking to move to the next level.

According to Mr. Desloge, “Chris Riley is a compassionate and stalwart believer in the American dream and respects the hard-fought equity that stands behind every successful business. Chris Riley works tirelessly to bring choices to Cutwater Shift’s clients to maximize their equity and help them leave a legacy that lives well beyond their years, and is focused on the fiscal sustainability of America's businesses. We know the synergy between Profit Growth International and Cutwater Shift will bring serious value to our clients."

Cutwater Shift will operate initially from offices in St. Louis and metropolitan New York and Philadelphia, but anticipates rapid geographic expansion in the United States.
