Stax adds Robert Lytle as senior managing director

Stax, a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) consulting firm, has hired Robert Lytle as a senior managing director in the firm’s Boston headquarters.

Lytle brings over 30 years of strategy consulting experience, with deep expertise supporting private equity (PE) firms on due diligence and value creation initiatives.

He previously spent 25 years with EY-Parthenon and Parthenon, where he was a founding member of the global education practice, which he led for 15 years. Lytle most recently led the strategy firm’s US government and public sector practice.

Before his tenure at EY-Parthenon, Lytle was a consultant at Bain & Company. Prior to his consulting career, Lytle served as a US Army aviator.

He has an MBA from Dartmouth University and a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Pennsylvania.

“Robert’s arrival also marks a significant milestone in Stax’s global expansion,” said Jayson Traxler, CEO of Stax. “His extensive experience in transforming a boutique firm into a global leader underscores Stax’s commitment to growth and the creation of a platform built to move at the pace of private equity. He will truly help our clients de-risk their investments in a globally complex environment.”

Stax focuses on commercial due diligence, value creation, and exit planning for private equity firms, portfolio companies, hedge funds, and investment banks. The consultancy has more than 300 global professionals across offices in Boston, Chicago, New York, London, and Colombo, Sri Lanka.

“Stax reminds me of the early days of Parthenon, before its acquisition by EY – a dynamic, entrepreneurial firm with incredible potential,” Lytle said. “We have a unique opportunity to build a world-class consulting firm over the next 5-10 years and position Stax as a leading brand in the industry.”

Stax last year promoted Tyler Veit and Roy Lockhart to managing director.
