Veteran Employment Advisor | Military Veteran | People Connector Company Overview:

TheMilVet is partnered with PE clients who are consolidating fragmented industries across America. These industries have no national presence or dominant brands. Our PE partners create value through consolidation and quickly scaling the core business in a high‑growth environment. For example, a sister portco in this fund grew its revenue from $0 to $2B in 4 years after 300+ acquisitions. Private Equity Needs a New Talent Strategy. Our clients enter a market through acquisition, hire a leader to be its champion for growth, and begin to rapidly scale the local market. As the new market grows, they search for other local complementary businesses to tie under the newly hired GM. Assuming performance, the goal is for the new GM to grow into the market leader responsible for multiple companies.

This PE client is a top‑decile private equity fund with a long history of successful investments in professional, residential, and tech services. This specific holding company is an investment out of its 9th fund, which will have ~\$4.5 billion of committed capital and focuses on acquiring and growing residential home services companies. Company revenue has grown from $0 to $400M in 12 months.

Their executive leaders build the firm with experienced PE operators and represent an all‑star team. Past GM hires have included high‑performing Veterans with strong leadership skills and next‑level execution abilities. Military profiles include leaders from Special Forces, Ranger Regiment, the nuclear Navy, USMC Infantry and MARSOC, etc.

The GM will drive growth, performance metrics, create an amazing workplace culture and develop all staff and management, constantly striving to be a world‑class operator and helping others to do the same.
