Eric Kainer, Managing Director

The team

Operators, not extractors.

We have spent thirty years building and nourishing high-performance teams. We buy so that work continues — with the people who already know how to do it.

The operating bench

Every engagement is led as a team. These seats sit beside the Managing Director — people continuity, diligence, and the customer work.

Lena Hart

Operating Partner, People & Continuity

Owns the promise we make to employees. Designs the first year after close so the people who earned the reputation stay, and the culture does not get recut for a model.

Marcus Webb

Principal, Diligence

Runs the numbers with financial truth as the standard. If the books do not tell the same story twice, we walk. No theatre, no rush.

Priya Raman

Operating Partner, Customers & Delivery

Stays close to how the work actually gets done — the accounts, the cadence, the quiet experts. Helps us keep customer loyalty intact through the handoff.
