Principal, Private Equity Advisory

Kingfish is a different kind of private equity firm. We have pioneered a new approach to private equity investing that places us at the intersection of people, ideas and capital. At the core of our efforts are deep, systematic relationships with proven operating executives. Our firm comprises two core business segments; our private equity investment business and an advisory business that supports a limited set of high-performing PE sponsors as they identify, invest in and grow businesses. Our philosophy is to find the best people and give them the freedom to learn, innovate and outperform. In that spirit, we are structured to ensure that each individual contributes substantially to firm strategy and goals, and there is extensive feedback on performance. We pride ourselves on assembling high-performing teams to pursue inspiring goals.

Our Principals work closely with our private equity firm partners, operating as an extension of their deal teams to evaluate investment opportunities and advance portfolio company initiatives. Specifically, Principals (a) Serve as key relationship owner for our private equity partners, thinking strategically about how Kingfish can help solve their investment needs and fostering long term relationships, (b) Manage internal project teams to drive consistently high impact on each transaction for our PE firm partners, (c) Manage and mentor a team of associates through their own career development and progression, (d) Quarterback our internal investment committee processes, and (e) Act as a highly visible, firm-wide leader in business building efforts that accelerate the growth of Kingfish.
