As a CEO, it is critical to build and maintain a constructive, supportive, and collaborative relationship with your investors and board members. The Reynolda Equity Partners team has made it easy to achieve this board/investor/CEO alignment because they are quality people.

Reynolda was a great partner for me as I worked through transitioning the family business into a professional company poised for growth. Their team’s ability to help me recruit talent to the organization, build a true leadership team, expand our breadth of products and channels, and complete tuck-in acquisitions in product adjacencies all served to create a best-in-class automotive aftermarket platform. And along the way, we had a ton of fun working together.”David Hardin is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of a portfolio company in which Reynolda Equity Partners previously invested through one or more of the funds it manages.

Reynolda Equity Partners has been instrumental in facilitating our organic growth and two very successful acquisitions.

I highly recommend Reynolda Equity Partners as a partner when looking to grow or expand your business enterprise.”Mike Dager is the CEO of a portfolio company in which Reynolda Equity Partners is currently invested through one of its funds.
