DellaRok is led by Founder and Managing Partner John Dellafiora. John is a CPA, CFA charterholder, and entrepreneur with experience across investment banking, private credit, insurance advisory, and middle-market transactions. He has advised and participated in a range of acquisitions, financings, and strategic initiatives for privately held companies and investor groups. In addition to his advisory work, John is an active investor and operator across multiple platforms focused on private credit, insurance, and lower-middle-market acquisitions. This operator-investor perspective allows DellaRok to understand transactions not only from an advisory standpoint, but also from the viewpoint of buyers, capital providers, and long-term owners.
DellaRok is a lower-middle-market investment banking and strategic advisory firm focused on mergers & acquisitions, capital formation, and complex transaction execution for founder-led and privately held businesses across North America. The firm works with business owners, independent sponsors, private equity groups, family offices, and lenders to structure and close transactions typically involving companies with $5M–$100M in revenue and $1M–$15M in EBITDA. Engagements span sell-side mandates, buyside acquisitions, recapitalizations, minority investments, structured debt placements, and special-situation transactions.
DellaRok was built to operate at the intersection of advisory, capital, and execution. Many of the companies the firm advises are at inflection points—owners preparing for an exit, sponsors building platforms, or operators seeking growth capital or refinancing solutions. The firm approaches each engagement as a partner rather than a traditional intermediary, providing hands-on support with valuation, positioning, capital stack design, and transaction structuring to maximize outcomes for all stakeholders. The team maintains active relationships with private equity firms, independent sponsors, family offices, strategic buyers, senior lenders, and private credit providers, allowing DellaRok to bring together the appropriate counterparties for each transaction.
