"Broadtree Partners and Sayres would like to thank Joel Willett for his service to the company to-date. He provided steady leadership during the acquisition and his hard work post-close has helped to build a platform that is ready for the next phase of its maturity,” said Broadtree Managing Partner Brad Batten.
