Dave Connolly

DIRECTOR

A diverse background in corporate finance has honed Dave’s unique capability to not only analyze and understand a company but envision and tell the story of its greatest potential. Before joining Eight Quarter Advisors, Dave spent several years with NASDAQ, working with companies as they navigated the IPO market. Prior to that, he worked for Thomson Reuters as a Senior Sales Executive to fortune 100 companies. Early in his career, he was involved in analysis and trade execution for the hedge fund CBD Trading. His familiarity with capital markets, public and private transactions, along with this corporate sales and marketing experience makes Dave a true embodiment of the firm’s mission to provide a level of sophistication rarely accessible to the smaller, private transaction space.

Dave graduated from University of Colorado with a BA in Economics. He enjoys skiing, golfing, hockey, and truly getting to know the people behind the companies he represents. Dave is located in Boston, MA and covers the New England market on behalf of EQA.
