Succession Partnership

I founded Pelagic Capital Partners as a vehicle to pool investments from my family and to acquire and operate a small business. While an LLC in practice, we are a family fund in spirit. Having a big family means having access to a large group with a wide variety of life experiences and backgrounds from which to learn and seek inspiration. We work with experienced advisors and lenders to identify, purchase and indefinitely grow a well-established business. 

We are committed to preserving the continuity of operations at the current locations and aim to train, develop and grow the existing team. Exiting owners can expect from us partnership, sincerity and a great desire to learn from them. The best way to ensure the legacy of parting owners is to work side by side with them and pay attention. We favor reasonable transition periods to become good stewards for the business and to demonstrate to the entrepreneurs that we are a safe pair of hands. 

I intend to personally step into the owner’s role following the transaction and will lead the organization on the next leg of its journey. As an investor, I have spent over a decade helping companies grow and achieve strategic objectives. The most successful partnerships combined a humble management approach, employee empowerment and a collaborative culture. These are the values I will seek to instill as an operator. 

We are actively looking for opportunities and would love to hear from you! 

Prior to founding Pelagic Capital Partners, I pursued several investment and advisory roles in the US and Europe. While in private equity my key responsibilities included on the one hand managing the transaction process when buying or selling companies, and on the other hand supporting the acquired companies and their management teams on their journeys of growth. Interacting with management teams in this strategic way enabled me to understand the factors that need to come together to solve problems and remove obstacles. 

Outside of business, I am an avid fresh- and saltwater game fisherman, long distance runner and nature enthusiast.
