NAPLES, Fla. - Rezul -- STS Capital Partners is pleased to announce that Mark Herbick has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective November 1, 2026, as Pursant, the firm he founded, joins forces with STS. A serial entrepreneur and seasoned dealmaker, Mark brings more than three decades of M&A experience and has advised on hundreds of transactions.
