As the Managing Director of Kirk+Co, an esteemed advisory firm, Kendrick orchestrated a successful $3.1mm raise for a Las Vegas-based cannabis company and secured a crucial line of credit for an architecture firm. His strategic counsel also played a pivotal role in advising a fitness conglomerate during its acquisition of a food distributor. Additionally, Kendrick's leadership was instrumental in syndicating a $300mm public bond offering.
