NEW YORK - Marylandian -- STS Capital Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Jay Tapp as a Managing Director, based in British Columbia, Canada. With over 30 years of leadership in international business, having successfully built, scaled, and exited multiple companies, Jay will play a key role in helping mid-market business owners navigate successful exit strategies and maximize value in divestitures.

Recognized globally as a thought leader in circular economy packaging, polymer design, and manufacturing workflow engineering, he has founded four businesses and played a pivotal role in pioneering disruptive and sustainable innovations. His career spans acquisitions, business turnarounds, and strategic international divestitures, giving him deep insight into the complexities of cross-border transactions, including currencies, regulations, and jurisdictions.
