An experienced operator looking to acquire one established B2B service business — to lead it, build on the foundation its founder created, and grow it into something bigger over the years ahead.
The hardest part of selling a business you built is wondering what happens to it next. My answer is simple: I start with what made it work and build from there. The team stays. The customers keep the relationships they trust. The name that earned them carries on.
What I bring is the time, the focus, and the experience to take a strong business and grow it — investing in the people, sharpening the operations, and opening up the next stage of its potential over the years to come. Not stripping it down for parts. Building it up.
I'm working with committed capital and lending relationships already in place, which means a serious conversation can move at the pace a real transaction requires — not a financing scramble after we've shaken hands.
I spent more than a decade building and leading teams at a Fortune 500 company — most recently as a marketing director responsible for a billion-dollar product portfolio, a team, and the profit-and-loss that came with it.
My background is in the unglamorous work that makes a business grow: pricing, customer relationships, building repeatable processes, and developing the people who do the work. I'm not coming in to strip a business down. I'm coming in to steady it, back the team, and scale what's already working.
I'm a Carlson School of Management graduate based in Minnesota, and I'm looking for a business I can pour myself into — one with a strong core and real room to grow.
If you own a business that fits — or represent one — I'd welcome a confidential, no-pressure conversation. Early talks stay private, and there's no obligation in simply exploring whether it's a match.
Start a confidential conversation →I work with a small group of aligned investors who back operators rather than funds. If you'd like to see the detailed thesis and deal approach, that's shared privately on request.
