Meet the Founder
For three decades I have worked inside large institutions and investment firms, where I saw how much value is lost when the people who own and lead a business can no longer agree. I founded Deal Resolution to give owners a neutral, confidential way to reach terms before a dispute reaches court.
In private equity and hedge fund environments, Henry worked with the governance, ownership, and capital questions that sit at the heart of most ownership disputes: who controls decisions, how value is measured, and how each stakeholder's interests are protected when they disagree.
As an owner-operator, Henry scaled a hospitality enterprise by 288% through rigorous P&L oversight and strategic capital allocation. He knows firsthand what the owners of closely held companies face: personal capital at risk, payroll to meet, and decisions that cannot wait while the owners disagree.

Biography
Henry Moodie
Henry Moodie is the founder of Deal Resolution, a neutral mediation firm for owners of family businesses, partnerships, and closely held companies who have reached a deadlock. Over more than 30 years, he has worked at the center of high-stakes organizational change — inside global financial institutions, within private equity and hedge fund environments, and as an owner-operator responsible for his own P&L.
Henry has held senior leadership roles within two Fortune 100 institutions. As a Vice President at Citigroup, he designed leadership frameworks for a global workforce of 300,000 across more than 100 countries — work that required bringing senior leaders with competing priorities, cultures, and agendas into alignment around a single plan.
Henry was educated at Stanford, and Harvard. He brings institutional leadership, investment-side discipline, and owner-operator experience to every engagement — always as a neutral who represents no owner and leaves every decision with the owners and their own advisors.
In My Words
Why I Built This Firm
Ownership disputes cost family businesses and partnerships far more than legal fees. They stall decisions, drive away good people, and divide families. I built Deal Resolution so owners have a neutral place to go first — before positions harden and before anyone files suit.
My Commitment to You
I represent no owner and take no success fee. Every owner hears the same information at the same time, and every decision stays with the owners and their own advisors. If mediation is not right for your situation, I will tell you on the first call.
