Ross Haymes is a licensed Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado and has earned the designation of Certified Business Intermediary from the International Business Brokers Association. He draws on decades worth of experience, both in corporate finance and as a small business owner, to guide buyers and sellers in the direction of their goals.
During his 20-year career with NYSE-listed Burlington Industries, Ross served as a market researcher, and an economist before becoming Investor Relations Director. In that role, he led the task of communicating the company’s value story to Wall Street analysts and money managers daily.
After a hostile takeover forced out Burlington’s management, Ross decided to take control of his own destiny and become a small business owner. He and his wife decided to move to Colorado, because they had had become familiar with the state through skiing.
Acquiring and running (and ultimately selling) his own business gave Ross a hands-on understanding of the challenges that face the small business owner.
In his current role as a Business Broker at Transworld, Ross combines his background in corporate finance with his experience as a small business buyer, owner, and seller, when he works with entrepreneurs. This gives him a unique perspective while guiding them, step-by-step, through the buying, growing, and selling of their companies.
Ross is a member of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and
the Colorado Association of Business Intermediaries (CABI), where he serves as a member of the board of directors.
An avid “Colorado aficionado,” Ross enjoys cycling, hiking, ski racing, and volunteering as a racecourse worker for World Cup alpine ski events.
