Industrial Manufacturing CEO or Executive Chairman

Our client is willing to look at a number of niches within the services sector.

This opportunity will be remote, with some traveling required until the acquisition target is found and finalized, and then may require relocation depending on the circumstances and ultimate org chart position of the executive in any new portfolio company. Please note: Our PE clients are control group buyers of businesses, not passive investors nor VCs. They value companies based on a multiple of TTM EBITDA. They do not invest in startups nor early-stage companies. They also do not buy companies based on multiples of top-line nor do they have expectations for “unicorn” type growth that VCs typically do.

**This opportunity is for a new platform opportunity, and not for an existing portfolio company of the PE client. If you are looking for a paid operating position in the near term, this program does not offer that and will not be a fit with your search.
