Bio
With over twenty years of experience, I’m a seasoned business leader with a demonstrated record of growing businesses and increasing value through customer-centric innovation and operational execution. I’ve delivered positive results in diverse industries (logistics, marketplace, SaaS, manufacturing, energy, engineering, etc.) and company sizes (Series A startups to Fortune 100 companies) through an entrepreneurial mindset and the application of data-driven business decisions.
Why Sell To Us
We’re not a PE firm and we’re not looking for a quick sell. We’re a group consisting of an operator (Rick) and investors looking for a good company we can grow for the long term. Knowing your company is in good hands, you can prepare for what’s next in life.
Integrity
We’re going to do what we say we’re going to do. Our goal is to acquire and operate a business with the respect it deserves.
Collaboration
We want to find a win-win solution for all parties. Let’s work creatively to find terms that enable that.
Communication
We’re going to overcommunicate to make sure we’re aligned as we work towards a common goal of transitioning your business.
Let’s Connect
I’d love to connect if you’re:
a business owner considering what’s next,
a business advisor/broker,
a CPA or lawyer assisting with business transactions and legacy planning,
anyone else passionate about building the Chattanooga community through business
