Hi Searchfunder Community, I am seeking to connect with professionals who have successfully acquired businesses, held majority ownership, and prioritized the development of infrastructure—people, processes, capital allocation, and technology—while partnering with an A+ operator (President / GM) to manage day-to-day operations. My focus is on establishing these foundational elements to ensure long-term sustainability and growth.

I am in initial stages of my search and if you have experience in these areas or know someone who does, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect and discuss our experiences.

I think its best to understand the warts in your business before delegating. That said, many finance people find an operator day one, but their relationship is usually cemented through previous collaborations and exits

I retained one of three owners as president going forward.....couldn't have done it without him.
