We are looking for operating partners for investment opportunities we encounter. We see many interesting businesses outside of our regional reach that we automatically pass on because we don't have an operator in that market. We seek to interview operators we can call on and match with opportunities based on their fit and criteria. We will acquire the business, put you in place as the CEO/GM, and provide you with salary and equity. Feel free to reach out if this would be of interest.
Alternatively, if you are a searcher and come across an interesting opportunity, but don't want to go through the hassle of raising equity and then finding bank financing, we would be happy to acquire the business for you, put you in place as the CEO/GM, provide salary and equity, which you can also co-invest alongside us for incremental equity. Feel free to reach out if you have an interesting opportunity based on the criteria on our website. --@----.com

I am located in Phoenix. Let's meet up in person if you are in this market.
I'd love to connect to learn what you are focused on, what you desire in the future and how we may be able to help each other now or down the road. I am interested in a few key areas in which I may be helpful to you and your team:
1) Network with capital providers to back me in acquiring and operating a business. 2) Network with capital providers to back future clients of mine. I have two potential currently which I am still vetting for exit-to-pe viability and timing. 3) Network with PE firm executives about me taking an Operating Partner role developing their portcos, or a CEO role in a company they have under LOI now or down the road.
My background: In short, I've been a very successful CEO and C-level operator who has driven transformational profitable growth to 9 PE portfolio companies, under 5 different PE firms, 7 franchised brands, 5 healthcare companies and several b2b and b2c service businesses.
My expertise is in utilizing proven methods to develop and implement the right strategies to energize sales growth, optimize operational execution, develop high performance cultures, and acceleration value creation.
Most recently I was CEO of the largest Massage Envy Franchisee. At 95 locations we were the largest and within 18 months I grew it to 131. Additionally, I stopped a 20 month high net member loss trend that I inherited and added back 5000 net new members. I was able to save this company from their cash crisis, rebuild the operating system, and lead them to sustainably strong growth, and exceeding Ebitda budgets.
