Through Red Oak, I am looking to acquire, operate, and grow a single established business valued at between $5M and $30M.Having an entrepreneurial background and a track record helping small and mid-size businesses grow in management consulting and private equity roles, I am well-positioned to provide a succession plan to an entrepreneur or owner-operator. My plan is to devote 100% of my time and effort to leading the acquired company, ensuring continuity for employees, partners, and your brand, and helping maximize its potential for the long-term.I am backed by a group of high net worth entrepreneurs who have successfully grown small and mid-size businesses, and have extensive track records investing in them and backing new leaders. Having experience closing multiple such transactions myself as well, I can move efficiently to completing a transaction that is suited to the owner's needs and ensures an attractive financial exit.Please contact me to discuss if this may be an attractive solution for you.
