Blake Cilmi
Associate, Transaction
Blake is an Associate on our Transaction Team. Before MiddleGround, he was an Investment Banking Analyst at Stephens, where he worked in the diversified industrials group executing sell-side M&A. Blake holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with minors in French and Philosophy from Washington and Lee University.
Blake grew up in Westchester County, New York, and enjoys exploring the food scene of New York City. He cooks at home too, and claims his homemade pasta and chicken cutlets are the best in the New York office, a claim we’ve yet to test (we’re waiting on our dinner party invites, Blake!). He also fly fishes and surf fishes, and will tell you he is serviceable at both, which is a lower bar than he sets in the kitchen.
