Sterling Partners invests in companies with the clear objective of accelerating growth. We leverage our comprehensive experience and industry expertise, and help our management partners address challenging and complex business issues. We immediately confront any pricing, marketing, and sales strategy issues to stimulate organic growth. We also proactively assist our portfolio companies in identifying and executing strategic add-on acquisitions. In contrast to many private equity firms, we focus on growth rather than leverage, allowing our management partners to concentrate on growing their business rather than servicing debt payments.
We believe that optimal growth is expedited through a disciplined focus on human capital and the processes that drive customer value. As one of the only private equity firms with full-time human resource executives devoted to staffing and recruiting, we work side by side with our portfolio partners to build out teams and optimize management structures. Sterling’s comprehensive approach to working with our partners accelerates growth across all areas of their companies.
