Elijah brings with him multiple years of diverse professional experience, with a particular focus on operations and transaction support for family-owned businesses. Throughout his early career, Elijah was deeply engaged with family-owned enterprises across various sectors including technology, manufacturing, and service industries.

Before launching Braindrop, Elijah held a strategic role at a renowned consulting firm, where he supported a multitude of transactions. He worked alongside a range of private equity firms on mergers and acquisitions, handling transaction values from $100M to over $1B.
