Firm strengthens healthcare services expertise to support growing client demand and continued sector evolution
Cascadia Capital, an independent investment bank serving middle-market clients globally, is pleased to announce the expansion of its Healthcare investment banking practice with the addition of Josh Mastracci and John Dean as Managing Directors. These senior hires reflect Cascadia’s continued investment in high-growth sectors and further enhance the firm’s ability to advise healthcare services businesses across a rapidly evolving landscape.
Healthcare services continues to represent one of the most active areas of the middle market, driven by demographic tailwinds, increasing specialization, and sustained private equity investment. The expansion of Cascadia’s healthcare team reinforces the firm’s commitment to delivering deep sector knowledge and strategic advisory support to founders, management teams, and investors across the healthcare ecosystem.
“Healthcare remains a priority growth area for Cascadia, and we are intentionally building a team with deep sector expertise and strong execution capabilities,” said Michael Butler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cascadia Capital. “Josh and John bring highly complementary experience across healthcare services and transaction execution. Their addition enhances our ability to advise clients navigating growth, consolidation, and strategic partnerships in a dynamic market.”
Together, Josh Mastracci and John Dean expand Cascadia’s healthcare services coverage with dedicated focus across distinct verticals. Their complementary coverage strengthens Cascadia’s ability to support clients across a broad and evolving healthcare ecosystem.
Mr. Mastracci’s sector coverage spans consumer and retail-oriented healthcare categories such as aesthetic medicine and wellness, primary care and longevity, infusion therapy, and women’s health, as well as high-acuity specialties and related facilities including orthopedics, interventional pain, ENT/allergy, and ambulatory surgery centers.
Mr. Dean advises clients across aesthetic medicine, healthcare services, healthcare products and distribution, medical device manufacturing, behavioral health, and animal health. His practice includes advising business owners and investors on M&A, divestitures, and capital raises across the middle market.
“Cascadia has built a platform with real momentum and a clear commitment to growing its Healthcare practice,” said Mr. Mastracci. “I’m excited to join a growing team with a deep bench that combines distinct sector focus with a collaborative culture and is well-positioned to help both sponsors and founders navigate complex transactions.”
“The healthcare sector is rapidly evolving as consumer preferences shift and care moves outside traditional settings, which makes thoughtful strategic advice more important than ever,” added Mr. Dean. “I look forward to working alongside Cascadia’s healthcare team and helping clients navigate growth, partnerships, and long-term value creation.”
