San Francisco, September 20, 2016 – Telegraph Hill Advisors acted as the exclusive financial advisor to GenX Mobile Incorporated on its sale to Sierra Wireless Inc.

Telegraph Hill’s representation of GenX positively made the difference in getting this transaction done. THA’s knowledge of the sector, deep industry relationships, and focus on execution were all critical success factors. In addition, their perseverance, creativity and strong negotiation skills really made a significant difference in improving the valuation outcome for our shareholders. The senior team was deeply involved throughout the process and truly acted as our partners, not just advisors. I would absolutely hire the Telegraph Hill team again!
