Crescent Value Partners

About The Firm

Built for high-stakes moments where generic advice is too expensive.

Mike Banks is the founder and principal advisor at Crescent Value Partners. He brings 30 years of technology operating and advisory experience across private equity, M&A, and enterprise transformation. Prior to founding CVP, he built and led the PE technology advisory practice at RSM, scaling it to $22M in annual revenue with a team of 35 and 150+ matrixed professionals.

Earlier, he spent 12 years at Accudata Systems delivering enterprise IT transformation across infrastructure, security, and operations for complex commercial clients in six countries.

His transaction experience includes 30+ IC-grade technology diligences, full-scope carve-out execution for a $200M manufacturer with zero TSA reliance, five add-on integrations, and post-cyber-incident restoration of a $700M food producer within two weeks, protecting an estimated $30M in revenue from additional loss.

Mike holds active CISSP (#56284) and Cisco CCIE (#43746) certifications, and is based in New Orleans.

Principal Credentials

CVP is built around a principal-led model: senior judgment at the front end, and the ability to stay engaged through execution oversight, transition leadership, or program recovery when the client situation requires more than a report.
