Former Saudi Aramco Exec Joins $2B RIA to Lead M&A Advisory Practice

Aaron Wealth Advisors, a multifamily office managing over $2 billion in client assets, hired Christopher Mason, former head of investment banking management at oil and gas behemoth Saudi Aramco, as managing director of the firm’s new M&A advisory business, Aaron Wealth M&A Advisory.

Prior to his seven-years in Saudi Arabia, Mason was the chief financial officer of healthcare company TeleMed prior to its sale to a large private equity firm. Before that, he held senior positions at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase

“Chris is culturally a great fit for our team and will provide major value for our executive clients, focusing on advising these professionals and entrepreneurs through the complexities of the M&A process,” said Gary Hirschberg, CEO of Aaron Wealth Advisors.

The M&A Wealth Advisory practice is led by Hirschberg and Mason, along with support from Bill Andrakakos, President & CIO; Charles Tucker, Senior Associate for M&A Advisory; and Alex Fedynsky, Managing Director.

A member of the Dynasty Financial Partners network, Chicago-bassed Aaron Wealth has fewer than 100 clients, primarily ultra-high-net-worth families, in five states.
