Based in the firm's Parsippany, NJ, headquarters, Eric Vogelsberg leads Kline & Company's global M&A and Corporate Development Practice.
During his 25-year tenure with Kline, Eric has advised clients on a range of corporate finance matters including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and asset sales, as well as the development and execution of the strategies underlying these transactions. For the past 15 years, he has been the principal responsible for the majority of the nearly 100 transactions for which the firm has been retained, across its four core industry verticals: (1) Chemicals and Materials; (2) Energy; (3) Consumer Products; and (4) Life Sciences.
Eric has led the evolution of Kline’s M&A portfolio from an acknowledged leader in the development of market and competitive intelligence for buy-side transactions to a full-service, global M&A, and corporate development advisory. In M&A, he has driven the expansion of the firm’s relationships both within its traditional client base of privately held companies and publicly traded multinational corporations in its core industries and with financial such sponsors as private equity groups, investment banks, and venture capital firms, as well as firms focused on corporate turnaround and restructuring.
Prior to joining Kline, Eric spent 10 years in sales, service, and management roles of increasing responsibility in the specialty chemicals industry through his association with Hercules Incorporated and the Harshaw Chemical Company. He holds an MBA in Chemical Marketing from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a BS in Chemistry from St. Francis College (NY).
Eric is a member of the Association for Corporate Growth, the Society of the Chemical Industry, and the Societe de Chimie Industrielle. He has served as a Director of the Commercial Development and Marketing Association.
