Acquisition Entrepreneur

I'm looking to acquire and personally operate one great business.

I am a hands-on operator with 15+ years of strategy, operations, and technology leadership. I'm not building a portfolio. I'm searching for one exceptional business where I can step in as owner-operator and take it to the next level.

Full Commitment

Operator first, buyer second.

I spent 15+ years in business strategy, operations, and technology at a Fortune 5 healthcare company, leading large-scale process optimization and technology transformation. I hold a B.Tech from IIT Madras (India) and an MS from the University of Cincinnati.

I am also an e-commerce business owner with hands-on operational experience. I am not a financial engineer looking for a passive investment. I am looking for one business where I can step in, lead from the front, and build something meaningful.

What I Bring Post-Acquisition

  • EOS implementation for organizational clarity, accountability, and execution
  • Theory of Constraints for identifying and breaking the one bottleneck limiting growth
  • AI and automation for efficiency at scale without growing headcount
  • Data-driven pricing and revenue model optimization
  • Cash conversion cycle improvement for better working capital
