Bradford Bulkley is founder and CEO of Bulkley Capital, which assists middle-market and privately held companies in executing mergers and acquisitions and financial and strategic decision-making.

Howard Wright is founder and chair of Seattle Hospitality Group, a holding company with strategic investments in leading hospitality, restaurant, tourism, and transportation companies in Washington, Oregon, and California.
