Ben Buettell is a veteran mergers and acquisitions professional who brings a wealth of strategic, financial, and transactional experience to the Trulite board. Buettell spent 24 years at Houlihan Lokey, where he helped grow it from a boutique firm into a global investment bank. He led over 200 corporate engagements, including mergers, acquisitions, recapitalizations, equity reorganizations, and strategic alternative assessments to startups, public and private companies, boards of directors, and independent fiduciaries.
