We intend to be actively involved in the strategy and operations of our target companies and have assembled a number of seasoned corporate executives and professional advisors to serve as independent directors on our Board, alongside Mr. Rubel and Mr. Clempson. These executives have been chosen for their extensive sector and executive experience in managing successful companies. In addition to providing us with strategic insights, which include in-depth knowledge of industry dynamics, competition and operational capabilities, our independent directors will provide access to their broad networks of operating executives and other resources.
Advisory Board
In addition to our management team and Board of Directors, we have assembled a distinguished Advisory Board of accomplished executives and operators to broaden and enhance our sector expertise and further position us as a differentiated operating partner. Our Advisory Board will expand our direct networks, further enriching our unique sourcing of opportunities. In addition, we believe our Advisory Board’s depth and breadth of experience will enable them to provide critical strategic advice to our eventual target, while best-positioning it for long term success.
