MIAMI & TORONTO - PennZone -- Retired Canadian Air Force Major General Sean Friday, who led Canada's Royal Military College and served in many other roles in the Royal Canadian Air Force, has been named Senior Vice President for M&A firm STS Capital Partners, the expert guides for private company owners who want to sell their companies for extraordinary amounts.

Friday will support Chairman & CEO Rob Follows in the direction, management, and administration of STS' operational excellence and strategic growth, helping generate billions in new philanthropic capital to assist clients in achieving global significance in their philanthropic pursuits.

Friday's most recent position with the Royal Canadian Air Force was at the United States Central Command Headquarters in Tampa, Fla., where he was Vice Director, Logistics and Engineering, co-managing a staff of 180 and directing essential logistical support for roughly 100,000 personnel across 18 Middle Eastern countries.

"We are thrilled to have Sean join the STS Team as Senior Vice President responsible for driving Delivery Excellence," said Rob Follows, STS Chairman and Founder. "It's a given that his leadership skills and experience are a tremendous asset to STS clients and team members. But even more, his energy, positivity, and natural empathy raise up and enable everyone he meets."

Even more, I am energized knowing that achieving exceptional results for our clients also creates huge legacy potential to use their financial upside to make the world a better place."

His experience in global operations and acquisition spans multiple sectors including aerospace, transportation, cyber security, data analytics, education, information technology, engineering, and defense.
