Morgan Witham is the founder of Ficus Advisors, an advisory firm that works with private equity-backed professional services and technology-enabled services companies during high-stakes transitions, like first-time institutional capital, post-merger integration, and periods of hyper growth. She offers fractional operating leadership and consulting focused on organizational development, leadership development, and operations.

Prior to founding Ficus Advisors, Morgan spent twelve years at Harris Williams & Co., a middle market investment bank, advising on M&A transactions across multiple industries. After several years executing deals, she ultimately served on the firm’s Executive Committee and led its strategy function. Following Harris Williams & Co., Morgan spent eight years as CEO of COLAB, a digital agency, succeeding the founder and leading the company through its next stage of growth. During that time, Morgan tripled average deal size by revising the go-to-market strategy, scaled the team by hiring into gaps the prior stage had outgrown, reduced customer concentration, and advanced a recurring-revenue model.

Morgan earned a B.A. in economics, with a minor in corporate strategy, from Vanderbilt University.
