Roger Smolik is a Business Broker for Transworld, with substantial experience in sales, consulting, capital facilitation, operations, and executive management.
Previously Roger worked in financial securities with several international firms in California and later owned and operated a boutique investment brokerage. His participation and directing of public and private equity financing encompassed numerous start-up, incubation, second round, and mezzanine financing projects in energy production, geothermal energy development, the entertainment industry, real estate, and resort development, discounted bank debt note conversion, as well as emerging and green technologies financing. Transworld provides him an opportunity to continue to be engaged with the essential elements of the business that have always inspired and fascinated Roger – the ongoing cycle of business incubation, growth, maturation, and economic payoff through an eventual sale, merger, or expansion.
