November 13, 2025Schwartz Heslin Group Celebrates 40 Years
Schwartz Heslin Group, founded by Robert Schwartz in 1985, has grown into a nationally recognized firm specializing in corporate planning, mergers and acquisitions, finance, and development. With over 1,100 projects completed across 40 states and 12 countries, the firm continues to serve low- to mid-sized companies with valuation and strategic advisory services. The organization now includes 22 professionals and remains committed to supporting business growth in the Capital Region and beyond.
Bob Schwartz, a Cornell graduate and longtime leader in finance, is not only a founder and CEO—he’s a husband, father, friend, and colleague. Bob saw a need in the Capital District for corporate planning, mergers and acquisitions, and financial development, and he boldly stepped in to fill that gap, founding SHG and leading it with integrity and foresight.
The Capital Region Chamber was pleased to host a ribbon cutting ceremony in celebration of Member Schwartz Heslin Group’s 40th anniversary and commemorative milestone. The celebration featured finger foods, desserts, coffee, and a specialty cider mocktail called “The Forty Forward”, honoring the firm’s legacy and future vision.
The event took place at The Hangar @ 743 Albany Shaker Road, Latham, NY. The ceremony featured a recognition awarded to Bob Schwartz, Chairman and Founder and remarks from Raimundo Archibold and Cory Martin, Managing Directors of Schwartz Heslin Group.
Distinguished guests in attendance included Senator Jake Ashby, Assembly and Dave DeMarco, President, and CEO of Arrow Bank.
All 2025 ribbon cuttings of the Capital Region Chamber and its affiliates are sponsored by Community Bank, N.A.
