“Access to capital can be a game-changer for a business owner, but nothing drives more value than when the capital comes with a partner who understands the company DNA and brings expertise plus “know-how.” Every day I get the opportunity to sit at the intersection of this value creation process where we help business owners find the catalysts who will help them take their companies to the next level. For me, it doesn’t get much better than that!”
