Executive First Strategy

Partnership with management

Quality senior management is the primary driver of a company’s success. Therefore, our investments begin by first partnering with talented operating executives and management teams. We work with both existing management already running great businesses and executives looking for their next challenge.

In both cases, we proactively work with executives to develop compelling investment and growth strategies, to identify and source attractive investment opportunities and to then create significant value in the companies we invest in together.

We partner with outstanding operating executives to:
jointly source investment opportunities
expertly evaluate investments
Build outstanding companies post-investment

What makes an executive partner?

Strong verifiable track record of success in building a business
Previous P&L responsibility
Relevant and extensive experience in their sectors of interest
Investment Thesis Outlining Acquisition opportunities in their industry
