Our journey

The business is led by Steve Lazarus (ex Warner Music, ITV, Sony Pictures, Yahoo, Myspace and Dow Jones) and supported by a team of experienced Associates (ex Disney, Virgin, Getty, Sony etc). We are an Appointed Representative of an FCA authorised and regulated firm.

We pride ourselves on providing a unique, premium service using our extensive industry experience, which is coupled with a deep network of senior tech, media and retail executives.

We are experts in sourcing and striking “media for equity” deals for fast growth early stage businesses, where media owners exchange advertising inventory for shares in a company.

CDI Global M&A specialists have successfully closed thousands of transactions since 1973.
