Worked for a Toronto-based mid-market private equity fund, where I led 17 acquisitions of small to medium-sized businesses. Post-close, I supported them through transition planning and operational initiatives to drive growth and improved profitability. Following this, I worked in a C-level role for a PE-backed company, which I recently left to focus full-time on finding a business to acquire and operate for the long run.
