01 - The Firm

Two principals. Every decision ours.

Jonathan Schwarz

Over two decades of commercial leadership, high-value client management and complex transaction negotiation across the GTA. He owned and operated a real estate brokerage for ten years and is a licensed broker with Johnston & Daniel in Toronto. His focus: sales, deal execution and business ownership.

Ido Nivron

A growth-focused executive with a record of scaling operating businesses and executing exits. Chief Operating and Strategy Officer at CloudShare, he previously served as its President and CRO, growing ARR from $7.8M to $15.5M with zero outside capital and leading its $60M acquisition by Bow River Capital. Earlier, he led revenue at Wibbitz, acquired by Vimeo.

Southhill Management brings together deal execution and operating scale. When you sell to us, you sell to the people at the table.
