G2 Capital Advisors Expands Its Leadership Team with Three Managing Directors
G2 Capital Advisors is pleased to share a meaningful expansion of its leadership team with the appointment of three seasoned professionals as Managing Directors. The additions deepen the firm’s sector expertise and reinforce its commitment to practical, high-impact advisory work. Joining G2 are John “JT” Engstrom, Mike Flynn, and Morgan Ley—leaders with long track records in their fields and a shared focus on client outcomes.
Each brings a distinct perspective: JT in Transportation & Logistics, Mike across Industrials & Manufacturing, and Morgan within Consumer & Retail. Together, their experience strengthens G2’s ability to deliver clear, actionable guidance to middle-market clients navigating complex decisions.
JT Engstrom: Leadership in Transportation & Logistics
John “JT” Engstrom joins the Transportation & Logistics team with a robust background in logistics and supply chain management. His experience includes serving as an Operating Executive at FreightWaves and as a Senior Partner at Venture 53. Widely respected for shaping practical, innovative solutions that support strategic growth, JT will help expand G2’s logistics advisory practice.
He brings a deep understanding of transportation, contract logistics, and final mile delivery, plus the industry relationships to match. That combination positions him to support clients as they refine networks, sharpen execution, and make operational choices that drive long-term value.
Transformations in Transportation
JT’s perspective on logistics fits squarely with G2’s mission to help clients improve how they operate. He has a history of putting strategy into motion—turning ideas into measurable improvements—which will further strengthen G2’s transportation offering and support clients facing change across the sector.
Michael Flynn: Deepening Industrials & Manufacturing Expertise
Michael Flynn also joins the firm, bringing decades of investment banking and operational experience centered on Industrials & Manufacturing. He previously held senior roles at Capital One Securities and Bank of America, where he focused on optimizing operations and advancing transformative initiatives. Mike’s track record guiding organizations through complexity adds both range and depth to G2’s advisory capabilities.
From shifting market conditions to operational resets, he has led teams through demanding environments. That background will support clients as they pursue growth, evaluate strategic options, and execute with discipline.
Driving Growth and Innovation
With a practical understanding of the industrial landscape, Mike enhances G2’s capacity to support clients at key inflection points. His approach to relationship management—direct, steady, and focused on results—helps reinforce G2’s position as a trusted advisor in the manufacturing space.
Morgan Ley: Advancing Consumer & Retail Advisory
Morgan Ley joins G2’s Consumer & Retail team after his tenure at Canaccord Genuity, where he was recognized for leadership within Investment Banking. He brings experience in capital raising and strategic advisory for middle-market firms, with a history in mergers and acquisitions that equips him to guide clients through complex transactions.
His work spans strategy, capital formation, and transaction execution—areas where clarity and timing matter. Morgan’s perspective will help clients weigh options, prepare for scrutiny, and move confidently from planning to close.
Expertise in Sustainable Practices
Morgan’s focus on sustainability within consumer retail aligns with where the market is heading. That lens—practical, data-minded, and responsive to customer expectations—supports clients aiming to meet rising demand for responsible investment and operational practices.
Commitment to Client Success
G2 Capital Advisors is energized by the perspectives JT, Mike, and Morgan bring to the firm. According to President Matt Konkle, their commitment to client success complements G2’s focus on delivering tailored, high-quality advisory services. With these appointments, G2 broadens its sector depth and strengthens its ability to provide thoughtful, fit-for-purpose solutions.
Each leader adds something different, yet they share a common thread: a hands-on approach rooted in experience. That balance—strategy and execution—remains central to how G2 supports clients.
