Nate Thurgood is a highly experienced M&A and strategy executive, a seasoned entrepreneur, and the creator of REACH.
For more than a decade, Nate has led the execution of some of the world’s most complex and challenging acquisitions, divestitures, and strategic projects across the telecom, media, and entertainment landscape while working at AT&T. Nate has extensive experience in strategic assessment, negotiations, financial analysis, valuation, people management, and due diligence. His thirty-plus completed transactions to date total nearly twenty billion dollars in value and include deals with companies such as Google, Sony, Comcast, Disney, and Electronic Arts.
Before his time at AT&T, Nate co-founded and led strategic planning and operations for a venture-backed luxury travel startup that was later acquired by Abercrombie & Kent. Prior to his time in luxury travel, Nate also co-founded the University Venture Fund, the largest independently managed venture fund run entirely by students, where he oversaw due diligence and partner relationships.
Nate earned an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas. He also holds Bachelor of Science degrees in both Economics and Finance from the University of Utah.
Executing billion-dollar deals and starting ventures is nothing compared to Nate’s responsibilities at home where he and his wife, Heather, negotiate daily with their five rambunctious and strong-willed children. In his limited free time, Nate enjoys tempting trout with a well-placed fly, improvising in the kitchen, attempting to play guitar, and trading highly-volatile biotech stocks.
