About Gerard Dunne
Operating from the capital city of Wellington, I work across the country as a Sales Agent with ABC Business Sales Limited.
I have marketed businesses of all types through a twelve-year career with ABC, with a focus on commercial and industrial enterprises, and including larger businesses and corporate.
With a great interest in the financial services sector, a passion for connecting motivated buyers with motivated sellers, and an exceptional track record in the sale of businesses, I have now turned my attention almost exclusively to assisting clients with the conversion of their insurance and financial services books into retirement capital.
I bring more than 35 years of commercial experience, spanning corporate, SME business ownership, and consulting. This breadth of experience across both large enterprises and SME has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of all facets of business, including strategy, marketing, sales, finance, operations, and people.
I combine this depth of insight with natural facilitation and negotiation skills, underpinned by the highest standards of integrity, to expertly guide clients through the complex and important process of selling their business.
