CEO of ~$40M Equity Holdco Rollup Modeled After Berkshire Hathaway

Note: Our process will rely significantly on off-sheet references (but we will not contact your current employer without your permission, of course).

Start date

ASAP

Position

CEO for ~$40m Equity Holding Company (Rollup)

Location

Remote pre-close and very likely on-site post-close (ultimately TBD)

Commitment

Full-time

Duration

Initial commitment of 5 years (forever if a good fit)

Compensation

Slightly depends on candidate profile, but our starting base case is ~$300k - $350k/year in cash + significant equity upside. (We’re selecting for folks who view this trade as an entrepreneurial / fun / big-title-and-growth opportunity vs. a brand name opportunity, which we’re not yet.)

Activities

The role combines deploying approximately $40 million of equity through acquisitions with leading the operations of acquired assets. We are looking for an executional rock star. The role is highly hands-on and operational—messy, unglamorous, and deeply involved in the daily minutiae of small-business optimization—rather than traditional allocator or investment professional work (e.g., modeling and deal analysis). Traditional financial activities will represent a small minority of the CEO’s time. Success requires rolling up your sleeves, operating with limited resources and imperfect information, and personally solving problems that would be delegated in a larger organization. Said simply, if your goal is to be Warren Buffett, this role is not for you.
