John Liston is the Managing Partner of Newcastle West Partners, a transition and transaction M&A advisory firm operating across Canada and the United States.
Newcastle West Partners specializes in business continuity, with a focus on ensuring smooth transitions for companies led by retiring baby boom entrepreneurs. The firm’s philosophy views continuity as an ongoing, forward-looking process, far broader than succession alone. Many succession plans falter due to insufficient long-term planning, and Newcastle West Partners works to address these gaps early, safeguarding the future of each business.
