Seeking Operator Introductions in Residential & Essential Services

Hi Everyone, I’m currently building a platform focused on acquiring and scaling residential and essential services businesses (landscaping, pool care, HVAC, plumbing, pest, cleaning, etc.). As part of this, I’m looking to expand my network of experienced operators who may be open to: • Stepping into leadership roles post-acquisition • Joining an operating bench/advisory roster • Exploring co-investment or growth-oriented partnerships If you’ve worked with strong operators in these sectors - or if you are one - I’d be very grateful for any introductions, referrals, or direction on where you’ve had success finding talent. Areas I’m specifically interested in learning more about: • Proven GM/COO-level leaders who’ve scaled multi-location or high-volume residential service companies • Operators with strong people-management and process-building experience • Recommendations on where independent sponsors/searchers typically source operators • Any communities, recruiters, job boards, or networks you’ve found especially effective Happy to reciprocate however I can — deal flow sharing, lender or advisor recs, capital provider intros, etc. Thanks in advance for any help, and appreciate this community as always.
