Viking M&A Expands Florida Presence with Finance Veteran Cody Mizelle
Cody Mizelle, a finance leader with oversight of more than $2 billion in transactions, has joined the Tampa headquarters of Viking Mergers & Acquisitions. His appointment arrives as the firm scales its advisory operations to meet heightened demand from Florida business owners planning strategic exits in a booming regional economy.
