LOS ANGELES - Californer -- STS Capital Partners announced today that Andy Harris, Managing Director and President of North American Strategies, has co-authored a new book, The Extraordinary Exit, alongside Jonathan Sherrill, a former STS client and business owner who successfully navigated the sale of his company.

Drawing on decades of real-world experience, The Extraordinary Exit offers business owners a practical and candid perspective on how to achieve maximum value when selling their companies, particularly through strategic buyer transactions. The book explores how preparation, positioning, and conflict-free sell-side advocacy can significantly influence outcomes, while also addressing the emotional and personal dimensions of exiting a business.

"When I first read this book, it was clear that Andy and Jonathan bring to life the principles, pillars, and philosophy that define how we achieve Extraordinary Exits™ at STS," said Rob Follows, Chairman and Founder of STS Capital Partners. "It shows the importance of uncovering the full strategic value of a business, and why preparation, positioning, and an experienced sell-side advisor are critical long before a transaction begins."
