  • Hands-on with an understanding there is an exit strategy or liquidity event in the future.
  • Proactive and passionate leader for the business.
  • Above average technical skills that can be transferred to the business.
  • The ability to manage the company toward an exit strategy /liquidity event that creates the most value.
  • The ability to be a proactive partner with senior management and private equity investors.
