Boston, MA – Blue Valley Capital LLC, a boutique M&A advisory firm specializing in wire harness and cable assembly businesses, is proud to announce its acquisition by Greg Shine, a seasoned industry operator and former Senior Advisor at the firm. With over 35 years of hands-on experience, Shine has built, grown, and successfully sold his own wire harness company before transitioning into advisory roles to help other founders achieve similar success.
With this acquisition, Shine assumes full ownership of Blue Valley Capital and brings a renewed vision for the firm, one that blends his firsthand operational experience with a commitment to guiding founder-led businesses through successful ownership transitions.
“I’ve been where many of our clients are today, working hard to build something valuable while wondering what comes next,” said Shine. “This isn’t just about closing a deal; it’s about helping owners exit on their terms, with clarity and confidence.”
The Smith family, former owners of Blue Valley Capital, expressed their enthusiasm for the firm’s future under Shine’s leadership. “With both operational and advisory experience, Greg offers a unique perspective on where the firm is headed. We’re excited to see Blue Valley continue to serve owners with the same integrity and dedication.”
Looking ahead, Shine is introducing HarnessPoint, a structured exit-readiness program designed specifically for wire harness and cable assembly business owners. The program is focused on four key areas that drive value and buyer confidence in the manufacturing sector:
- Financial Clarity – Clean, reliable reporting and quality earnings.
- Customer Strength – Stable, diversified customer relationships that reduce concentration risk.
- Management Resilience – A leadership team capable of operating independently of the owner.
- Competitive Positioning – A well-defined business moat supported by documented processes and operational differentiation.
Designed for companies one to three plus years away from a potential sale, HarnessPoint helps owners enhance valuation, reduce transaction risk, and position their business for a successful exit. The program provides strategic guidance on these critical value drivers to ensure business owners are fully prepared when the time comes to sell.
Blue Valley Capital remains committed to its practical, relationship-first approach to helping owners navigate the sale process, preserving what they’ve built while positioning them for strong financial outcomes.
