Los Angeles, CA – July 15, 2024 – Objective, Investment Banking and Valuation (“Objective”) is pleased to announce the expansion of its services with the Aerospace & Defense (“A&D”) area of expertise under its Manufacturing & Distribution (“M&D”) Practice.

Mr. Shea, with over 30 years of experience in transaction advisory, has successfully closed numerous high-profile deals in the A&D sector. He emphasizes the significance of this expansion, stating, “The current and expected geopolitical environment necessitates smaller U.S. manufacturers play a critical role in fulfilling defense-related production needs.
