DR. SARA TERHEGGEN

Founder and CEO The NBD Group, Inc.

In 2018, Dr. Sara Terheggen, who has advised clients on over $110 billion in corporate transactions, left her role as an equity partner for a top law firm and founded a legal and business solutions professional corporation, The NBD Group, Inc. The mission of NBD is to disrupt the industry by bringing to bear a new paradigm that focuses on client service and advancing equality.

Not only is the founder and CEO a woman, but NBD has instituted transparent policies regarding promotion and pay, and has established policies and governance that help women and minorities rise up instead of cycle out. Under Dr. Terheggen’s leadership, NBD has experienced year-over-year growth. In the four years since its founding in 2018, NBD has handled over 100 transactions for clients with an aggregate transaction value of over $8 billion. 2022 shows no sign of slow-down. The NBD Group is already well underway for another phenomenal year.
