Robert Indries is Managing Partner at Elkridge Advisors, a California-based M&A advisory firm focused on acquiring businesses in ways that build wealth for both buyers and sellers. He brings a relationship-first approach to dealmaking, with a focus on post-acquisition outcomes that benefit all parties involved. Under his leadership, Elkridge has generated more than $500 million in value for its clients, with a stated path to $1 billion. The firm works across mergers and acquisitions, capital strategy, tax structuring, and portfolio operations. His perspective is shaped by two decades of operating experience across manufacturing, technology, and professional services, which informs how Elkridge evaluates targets, structures deals, and supports owners through the transition. He writes and speaks regularly on acquisitions, operational leverage, and the habits that separate businesses that sell from businesses that simply survive.
