Building Great Businesses in Partnership with Management
A different type of relationship with management leaders.
We see ourselves as working for our management partners, not the other way around. Our heritage is as operators ourselves, so we know how hard it is to build a business, and we have a much healthier amount of respect for the challenges of leading one. We bring that collaborative approach to everything we do - both in good times and bad.
