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. I have found success is much easier and far more fun when partnered with good people.”Marcus MollmannChief Executive Officer, ATGMarcus Mollmann is the CEO of a portfolio company in which Reynolda Equity Partners is currently invested through one of its funds.

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 HardinTPT Solutions/TransGoDavid 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.
