Our talent and our trusted relationships are every bit as important as the capital we invest in our companies. Growth Operators has been a great partner to many of our businesses. They roll up their sleeves and earn the trust of our management teams because they’re operators themselves.

The work the Growth Operators team did before I jumped onboard as the new CFO of Regency allowed me to transition in smoothly and hit the ground running. Since then, I’ve engaged them to help me accelerate other initiatives. We move fast and they do too.
