Mira Ebert is Client Relationship Executive at Cordis Global, where she leads the firm's relationships with founders, business owners and families, and with the accountants, attorneys and wealth advisors who serve them. She holds an MBA from New York University and is a serial entrepreneur in her own right.
Mira grew up around business ownership. Both of her parents ran their own professional practices, and she learned early that behind every business is a person, a family and years of hard work and integrity. That understanding has shaped her approach to every relationship since.
Her career spans law, the fashion industry and hospitality, where she led business development for independently owned hotels, many of them carrying their families' names and reputations.
As a principal investor and operator, Mira holds ownership interests in companies in financial services and children's events, maintains a portfolio of consumer investments from specialty food to fashion resale, and holds licensing rights to proprietary intellectual property. That work gives her firsthand experience of how brands, relationships and other intangible assets are valued, protected and monetized, and of what an owner carries.
She has also seen, from close range, what generational ownership asks of a family, and what a sale undertaken without proper guidance can cost the people who built the company.
A business is a person, a family and years of work, long before it is a number.
At Cordis Global, Mira brings an entrepreneur's perspective and a natural instinct for building trust. Before any discussion of value or process, she works to understand what an owner has built, who depends on it and what they want next, so that the right people at the firm are working on the right questions.
Her measure of the work is that owners make their decisions with clear information and the right people beside them, and feel confident in those decisions years later.
Start a confidential conversationThat a business is never only a business.
Both of my parents ran their own professional practices. I watched what that asked of them: the late nights, the clients who became part of the family's life, the responsibility for the people who worked for them. Their names were on the door, and they treated that as a promise.
I learned early that behind every business is a person, a family and years of hard work and integrity. I have never been able to look at a company any other way.
That the most valuable things a company owns rarely appear on a balance sheet.
As a co-owner and investor, I have seen how much of a business lives in its name, its reputation and its relationships. Those are real assets. A buyer will pay for them only if someone has done the work to show they will last.
It also taught me what an owner carries. When you have signed for something yourself, you listen to other owners differently.
Because I have seen, from close range, what generational ownership asks of a family.
There is pride in it, and there is weight. Decisions about a sale are rarely only financial. They touch the people who built the company, the ones who expect to inherit it and the employees who depend on it.
I have also seen what a sale without proper guidance can cost. Helping owners avoid that is the reason I do this work.
It starts with understanding the person before the numbers.
Much of my career has been spent building relationships, in law, in fashion and in hospitality, where I worked with independent hotel owners whose properties carried their families' names. The best opportunities always began with understanding what someone cared about.
With owners, I want to know what they built, who depends on it and what they want next. When I understand that, I can make sure the right people at Cordis are working on the right questions.
It feels like an owner who trusts the process because they were understood from the first conversation.
Whatever they decide, to sell, to wait or to grow, I want them to look back and know the decision was theirs, made with clear information and people beside them who cared about the outcome.
That is the kind of relationship I want to be known for.
