GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 7, 2025 -- Hunt Scanlon Ventures, the leading M&A advisory firm focused on the human capital markets, announced today that it has facilitated a transaction between ZRG and Aspen Leadership Group while serving as a strategic advisor on the deal.
This is another breakthrough win for ZRG as its leadership team continues to rapidly develop, evolve and scale the business.
"The addition of Aspen Leadership Group is nothing short of transformative," said Larry Hartmann, CEO of ZRG. "Their expertise in development and advancement is the perfect complement to our growing education practice."

A Breakthrough Win
"This acquisition carries ZRG's brand further into C-suite recruiting and opens an expansive 'leader-to-leader' consulting services channel which is one of the fastest growing segments within human capital solutions," said Scott A. Scanlon, co-founder of Hunt Scanlon Ventures who worked on the deal alongside HSV managing director Drew Seaman.
"Aspen Leadership Group is well known for its focus on recruiting and supporting CEOs and executive directors, chief development & advancement officers and their teams, and chief financial and operational officers – including COOs, CFOs, general counsels, and other C-suite leaders," said Mr. Seaman.
