Experienced Program & Operations Leader Available for Search Funder Opportunities

Hi Search Funders, I’m reaching out to introduce myself and express interest in connecting with Search Fund entrepreneurs who may be looking for a versatile operator to help scale and strengthen their business. I’m an experienced Program & Operations Leader (10+ years) helping companies scale through strong execution, clear structure, and optimized operations. Background across HPE, Aruba Networks, and Palo Alto Networks, leading global programs across marketing ops, sales ops, and customer experience. Most recently, I’ve been working with an AI SEO company, where I’ve been deeply involved in building and scaling operations across the business. This includes: • Build and scale affiliate & go-to-market programs • Improve onboarding, retention, and lifecycle engagement • Drive operational efficiency across teams • Implement systems and processes to support growth I specialize in stepping into ambiguous environments, quickly identifying gaps, and turning strategy into execution that drives measurable results. Interested in opportunities with Search Fund-backed companies—especially in growth or transition phases. Open to full-time, fractional, or project-based roles. If you’re looking for a hands-on operator to help scale your business, I’d love to connect. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect. Best regards, Ryan Carter
