Rather than taking over daily operations, it relies on existing business leadership who understand their niche markets, offering capital, best practices, and a global network to drive both organic and acquired growth. The firm positions itself as a stable, forever home for founders and operators, emphasizing employee development and career opportunities across its portfolio of independently managed companies operating in numerous countries.
