This isn't just a transaction to us. You've spent years building your business, and your people show up every day because they trust you.
When we acquire a business, the name stays. The team stays. We spend our first 90 days learning: the processes, the customers, the people, how the business really works, where the friction is, and what excellence looks like from the inside.
Building on what you've built isn't just a promise. It's the foundation of our value creation plan.
Two operators. Thirty years of combined experience. One business at a time.
Kolawole Alawaiye
DC, Maryland and Virginia
Kola is an industrial engineer. He has spent his career on the operations side at PepsiCo, Northrop Grumman, and Microsoft, on programs where the schedule was real and a slipped date meant someone downstream absorbed the costs. At PepsiCo he led a 55-person team across engineering, operations, and supply chain, and took the site from the middle of the pack to third out of fifty-six. Through all these experiences, he can look at how work moves through a place and see where it is getting stuck. He also knows that the person running the line usually already knows where to look.
Olaniyi is an electrical engineer. He ran field infrastructure across more than 300 telco sites at Crown Castle, with crews, subcontractors, and equipment spread across several states. He knows what breaks at 6am on a job site, what it costs, and who you call. At BCG and later at Lenovo, he worked on growth and operational improvement inside established businesses and led acquisitions from evaluation through close. That is where he learned that the plan is never the hard part. Getting the people who do the work to believe in it is.
The first ninety days are about learning, not changing. We want to understand what made this business worth buying before we presume to make it better.
02
We are here for the long term.
We are not building toward a sale. The business we buy is not a stepping stone. It is the thing we are building.
03
We are still in the room
After the check clears, we are still showing up. The people who bought the business are the people running it.
Our focus
What we look for
