In his role, Julien supports the Chinook team through financial and data analysis, industry research, marketing material preparation, diligence efforts, and transaction execution. His experience in middle market M&A and investment banking further strengthens Chinook’s ability to serve business owners throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Julien first joined Chinook as an intern while attending the University of Washington, where he gained valuable exposure to the mergers and acquisitions process.

“Julien’s experience with a variety of deal types and sizes fits in perfectly with Chinook’s target market, and our clients will appreciate his energy and passion,” added Ed Kirk, Co-Founder.
A native of France who later moved to Seattle, Julien graduated cum laude from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. During his time at UW, he was actively involved in the UW Investment Banking Accelerator (UWIBA) and served as Portfolio Manager of the UW Investment Group (UWIG).
