The Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation is a privately-owned, international holding company. DKM brings active stewardship to the businesses it acquires, and as a private company investing its own capital is able to define and implement its own long-term strategic goals. Furthermore, its experience in the acquisition of family-owned businesses gives DKM sensitivity to the various issues faced by family owner-managers contemplating the sale of their businesses.

History
DKM was founded in 1954 by Charles H. Dyson when he pioneered the leveraged buyout, acquiring the Hubbard Co. with a loan from First National Bank of Boston and just $8,000 of his own money. In 1996, Forbes named him the "father of leveraged buyouts." DKM continues to be wholly owned by the Dyson Family.
