Edward Gleason
Managing Director — Financial Modeling, Due Diligence Advisory & Capital Readiness Analysis
Edward Gleason serves as Managing Director of Centurion Global Capital, where he leads financial modeling, due diligence advisory, and capital readiness analysis. He brings over two decades of executive experience spanning corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and institutional transaction analysis across technology, financial services, energy, healthcare, and commercial real estate.
Edward began his career in transaction advisory services at Arthur Andersen, where he developed foundational M&A analytical expertise. He subsequently held roles in strategic acquisitions at Kinnevik AB, corporate development at Dow Jones & Company, and management consulting at Capgemini — where he led post-merger integration and digital transformation engagements for Fortune 500 clients. He also applied institutional investment analysis experience at JPMorgan Chase across multiple financial sectors.
Edward’s analytical work spans three continents and encompasses a broad range of transaction types, including acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations, and structured capital situations. He has co-authored published analysis for ESPN on game-theoretic approaches to the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement and the valuation of NBA franchises — work that reflects the same rigorous analytical framework applied to CGC’s capital readiness and financial modeling engagements.
Edward earned his MBA from Yale University and was selected as an editor of The Yale Journal on Regulation. He holds an active CPA license in his individual capacity and a Series 65 license held in a separate registered capacity outside of CGC. His CPA credential supports CGC’s financial due diligence and risk advisory work, which is conducted on an analytical and advisory basis only.
