ABOUT MRE CAPITAL

MRE Capital was formed in 2008 and is the private investment company and family office of David Williams.

David acquired Merkle in 1988 which was then located in Lanham MD with 25 employees doing approximately $2.8 million in revenue and $800 thousand in EBITDA, becoming it’s CEO at age 25. He then grew Merkle, through a combination of service expansion, geography expansion and M&A to $1.2 billion in revenue and $300 million in EBITDA when he exited as CEO after selling the company to Dentsu, the largest publicly traded advertising and communication company in Japan in 2020.
