Working with the TruArc team, he endeavors to create similar transformational growth for the firm’s portfolio companies, concentrating on the highest-leverage issues of strategy, capital allocation, and stakeholder alignment.

On the potential of TruArc’s portfolio companies:

“The middle market companies we target operate in large markets but are of modest scale so have lots of growth runway. They are big enough to properly resource transformational efforts yet small enough that a small leadership team can have broad impact. I feel like the TruArc team, effectively partnering with senior management, can really move the dial.”
