A seasoned intermediary who has been involved in the deal-making arena since 1993, she has developed an exemplary track record of successfully negotiating and completing a variety of M & A transactions in the divestiture, acquisition and capital raise arenas.
In her position with AGC, she is active in managing business acquisition, sales and merger engagements on behalf of the firm’s clients. One of her primary focuses is the development and implementation of proactive marketing strategies for clients who have retained AGC to coordinate targeted acquisition search campaigns. She excels in providing proprietary deal flow for AGC’s buy-side clients, while the company’s sell side clients are thrilled at her ability to generate multiple competitive offers resulting in increased transaction values for their operations.
A predominant industry focus of Ms. Dubofsky’s is the insurance and financial services sector. In the insurance segment, she has an extensive track record of success in working with a variety of both retail and wholesale distribution transactions on a private to private, private to public, and private to private equity on an annual basis. Areas of insurance in which she has worked run the gamut from specialty program business, to property & casualty to employee benefits and individual risk protection and retirement planning products. In financial services, her experience encompasses the broker dealer and registered investment advisor arena, as well as full service wealth planning.
Aside from the technical aspects of deal making and transaction structuring, Ms. Dubofsky also understands the “people” side of the transaction and is an expert communication facilitator.

These qualities have earned her repeated referrals from past clients, as well as from many of the attorneys and accountants that were involved in her transactions.
