Jeff Kohl

Jeff Kohl brings nearly three decades of sales and revenue leadership experience to his work as a business broker and M&A advisor with Sunbelt, giving business owners in the Phoenix market a rare advantage: someone who has actually built revenue, led an acquisition, and sat at the table through a company sale — not just advised from the outside.
Most recently, Jeff served as Chief Revenue Officer of Phoenix Fab, LLC and its sister brand LG Billet USA, precision manufacturing companies serving both government and commercial clients — including Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and the Department of Defense — as well as the classic car and automotive aftermarket industry. In that role, he was also part of the acquisition team that brought Doug Thorley Headers, a respected name in classic car and performance exhaust systems, into the company, giving him direct experience evaluating and integrating a business from the buyer's side of the table.
Before that, Jeff spent eight years as Executive Vice President of Sales at APS Payments, a merchant services and payments technology company, where he built and led sales teams across B2B and B2C payment solutions. He was also part of the executive team that guided APS through its sale to REPAY (Realtime Electronic Payments), giving him firsthand experience on the sell side of a transaction as well. His career began in New York, where he spent 16 years in advertising sales for Traders Magazine and Securities Technology Monitor, giving him deep early exposure to financial services and capital markets.
That combination — hands-on executive experience building revenue inside operating companies, direct involvement in both a company sale and an acquisition, and a career-long foundation in financial services — shapes how Jeff approaches every engagement. He understands every side of a deal: what it actually takes to run and grow a business, what it's like to be acquired, what it's like to acquire, and what buyers, investors, and lenders need to see to get a transaction done.
In addition to his brokerage and M&A work, Jeff offers business consulting services to companies looking to build out or strengthen their sales, channel, and marketing systems — helping owners put the structure in place to grow value ahead of a future transaction.
Jeff is based in Phoenix, Arizona and works with business owners throughout the Sunbelt region on valuations, exit planning, and the sale of their companies.
