Claude Zdanow named Managing Director in Miami, Florida

MIAMI - Rezul -- STS Capital Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Claude Zdanow as a Managing Director.

A public-company CEO, serial founder, and M&A principal, Claude brings nearly two decades of experience building, scaling, acquiring, and selling businesses to STS. Prior to becoming a Managing Director, Claude was part of the STS Global Advisor Network, where he contributed industry expertise shaped by his experience as a founder, operator, and acquirer.

With more than 15 completed acquisitions and transactions representing more than $250 million in enterprise value, Claude brings deep, practical M&A experience. Having sat on both sides of the table as a buyer and a seller, he knows how strategic buyers evaluate a business, what drives their valuation, and what it takes to close a deal.

He is CEO of ONAR Holding Corporation, a publicly traded, AI-powered marketing platform serving middle-market and growth-stage brands. Before ONAR, he founded Stadiumred Group in 2007, building the company from a single recording studio into a global marketing agency holding company through eight acquisitions, ultimately reaching nearly $100 million in revenue and almost 100 employees. Stadiumred's client roster included 7-Eleven, Brown-Forman, Pernod Ricard, and Disney's FX Networks, and the company was recognized as one of Adweek's fastest-growing agencies and named to the Inc. 5000. Claude exited the business in 2021.
