Armory Group, a preeminent advisory, investment banking and asset management firm serving middle-market companies and their stakeholders, today announced the formation of Armory Strategic Partners, led by turnaround and consulting veteran Scott Avila as Chief Executive Officer. Armory Strategic Partners is a national consulting and advisory group providing restructuring advisory, enterprise transformation and interim management services to middle market companies and their stakeholders.

"I am excited to join Armory Group to build Armory Strategic Partners into the premier advisory firm serving the middle market.  Our combined experience, shared vision and commitment to excellence allow us to provide a comprehensive, holistic approach in serving our clients' needs," said Avila, CEO, Armory Strategic Partners.

Since its founding in 2008, Armory Group has focused exclusively on the needs of the middle market. The Armory Group platform and the expertise of its team bring together an unparalleled set of services.

Tell, Jr., Co-Founder, Armory Group.

"With the addition of Armory Strategic Partners, we bring an award-winning team with the unique skillset and capabilities to handle the needs of our clients, be they capital, advisory or operational in nature," added Eben Perison, Co-Founder, Armory Group.
