NEW YORK - TelAve -- STS Capital Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Jay Tapp as a Managing Director, based in British Columbia, Canada. With over 30 years of leadership in international business, having successfully built, scaled, and exited multiple companies, Jay will play a key role in helping mid-market business owners navigate successful exit strategies and maximize value in divestitures.

Recognized globally as a thought leader in circular economy packaging, polymer design, and manufacturing workflow engineering, he has founded four businesses and played a pivotal role in pioneering disruptive and sustainable innovations. His career spans acquisitions, business turnarounds, and strategic international divestitures, giving him deep insight into the complexities of cross-border transactions, including currencies, regulations, and jurisdictions.

As the founder of Tapp Label Technologies, he led a major industry shift in the North American wine sector, introducing pressure-sensitive labeling technology and earning over 130 international awards for printing excellence. His experience at Tapp Label Technologies also gave him firsthand knowledge of the risks of not having the right sell-side advisory team and the emotional journey entrepreneurs face during an exit.
