In addition to providing a private source of equity capital, the principals of Tanglewood are committed to accelerating growth by sharing the benefits of their prior operating experiences.  We believe that successful private equity investments require active monitoring of strategic, financial and operating objectives, performance to those objectives and participation in major business decisions.

As seasoned executives and managers, the firm's principals can assist in all phases of business development and can provide access to the firm's network of contacts and relationships.  Our experiences have generally been the most beneficial in:

• Developing and monitoring business plans, and outlining strategic objectives and specific tactics.

• Assisting in developing strategies to differentiate the acquired company from competition with a focus on such matters as quality, customer service, operating efficiency and technology.

• Developing strategies and initiatives to increase global presence.

• Acquiring related or complementary businesses.

• Recruiting additional senior management from our base of long-standing relationships with other operating executives.
