Operators
Partner With Us to Acquire and Lead a Business
North Park Group partners with accomplished executives and aspiring entrepreneurs pursuing entrepreneurship through acquisition to buy, lead, and grow exceptional manufacturing and distribution businesses.
As your operating partner, we provide the capital, transaction experience, and strategic support to identify and acquire the right business. Then we step back. You run the company day-to-day with real autonomy, backed by an experienced Board of Directors focused on building long-term value, not a quick exit.
Build Something of Your Own
We believe exceptional operators should participate meaningfully in the value they create. As an operating partner, you can expect:
- Above-market compensation
- Meaningful co-investment opportunities
- Carried interest and equity participation
- Performance-based incentives tied to EBITDA growth
- Long-term opportunities to participate across the North Park Group portfolio
Unlike traditional private equity firms built around a predetermined exit, North Park Group takes a long-term ownership approach, so you can focus on building an enduring business, not preparing one for sale.
For Experienced Executives
We actively seek executives with a demonstrated record of leadership in manufacturing, distribution, and related industrial markets who are ready to lead a business as President or CEO.
Whether you've run a privately held company, managed a division within a larger organization, or built deep expertise in a specific industrial sector, we want to talk if you're ready for greater ownership over your next chapter.
Entrepreneurship through Acquisition
We also partner with MBA graduates and other aspiring entrepreneurs pursuing entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA).
If the search fund model appeals to you but you'd rather have an experienced, well-capitalized partner than go it alone, North Park Group provides the capital, M&A expertise, and operational support to find, acquire, and lead an attractive business.
Interested in Becoming an Operating Partner?
We're always interested in meeting exceptional people, even before we've identified the right acquisition.
