Seeking a Sales-Focused CEO / Operating Partner (Texas)
I’m the founder of a tech-enabled services business looking to dial my day-to-day down from 50% (current) -> 5% (by end of next year) for personal reasons. Not looking to sell. I don't need to take money off the table. I’m looking for a commercially driven CEO to lead and grow the business and take substantial upside.
The good: Low-seven-figure revenue, positive cash flow. Strong operations, customer success, and technology leaders who have been with us for several years. We’ve seen significant expansion from longstanding clients and referrals over the past two to three years, despite no outbound sales effort and my own part-time involvement.
The ugly: Significant revenue concentration and absolutely no sales team.
The opportunity: A solid business that needs someone to restart and lead new-business sales. This is a full-time CEO role, but sales is the central mandate. You should have personally sourced and closed B2B busines. I do not believe a product-focused CEO will find success.
The economics: ±$100-200k annual base salary plus substantial participation in economic upside, with flexibility in the salary/upside balance. An existing business to build, without needing to buy it first.
Could suit an experienced operator, former founder, or self-funded searcher looking for an alternative to acquisition. Will need to spend significant time in Texas (team is mostly in-office). Introductions welcome!
