We believe a company’s ability to grow must be supported by sound business model and organizational fundamentals.
As a transition owner, we employ a proven, systematic governance process to build better businesses. Our governance approach, refined over several decades, enables each company to meet its growth potential and drives strategic, operational and organizational change. We aim to build healthier, more resilient businesses that are in a better condition than when we acquired them, driving value for our companies’ employees and communities as well as our valued network of limited partners.
We are uniquely positioned to help companies navigate a dynamic and changing market.
Our team integrates three decades of specialized knowledge and skills across every stage of the investment process, from sourcing and investment to operational excellence and exit. Our deep understanding of operations enables a collaborative partnership with the management team of each portfolio company to assist in all aspects of value creation from the highly strategic to the highly tactical.
We are the "to" in farm-to-fork, and our portfolio represents links along the food supply chain. In addition to our systematic approach to governance, we take a strategic, integrated approach to managing our portfolio as a holdings company.
While each investment is nurtured into a distinctive and resilient company as an individual investment, we foster cross-portfolio collaboration. Collectively, our portfolio companies provide distinct yet related service solutions to leading, emerging and private-label brands. Therefore, as part of this network, our portfolio companies gain access to the network and insights to accelerate top line growth, build important customer relationships, share and learn best practices, advance quality and enhance commercial strategies to unlock increased value creation possibilities.
Our stewardship philosophy positions us as a trusted, preferred partner.
This approach is grounded in a collaborative partnership approach with a growth-oriented mindset to create long-term, sustainable value through patience and perseverance. Our responsibility as a steward is to help companies we partner with navigate change, consistently reinforced by our principles.
We are a mission-driven organization that believes in interdisciplinary expertise and depth. We embrace a “one-firm” approach where every member of our team is responsible for the success of our collective portfolio.
We believe collaboration across disciplines leads to better, more informed decision-making and builds long-term relationships that stem from trust and integrity.
We possess an entrepreneurial spirit and invest in innovation to underwrite sustainable growth.
We believe stewardship implies protection and performance enhancement and consistently measure our progress to hold each other mutually accountable to rigorous standards.
