A founder’s perspective on helping private equity firms align technology strategy with measurable outcomes
In March of 2020, I launched Accelerate Partners with a clear purpose: to help private equity firms and mid-market enterprises make smarter, faster technology decisions. After three decades as a C-level executive in PE-backed technology companies, I recognized the gaps that existed between strategy, execution, and outcomes, particularly in the tech sector.
Today, I’m proud to say we’ve built something meaningful. Accelerate Partners supports hundreds of engagements annually, helping clients evaluate, transform, and accelerate their businesses. Our work is focused in two critical areas:
🔹 Technology Sourcing & Advisory for Mid-Market Enterprises
We guide organizations through complex technology decisions, MSPs, MSSPs, cloud, cybersecurity, AI, and more. Because we work closely with technology suppliers at various stages of their PE lifecycle, we offer unique visibility into their maturity and operational readiness. That insight helps our clients align tech strategy with long-term goals.
🔹 Private Equity Portfolio Consulting
As former operating executives and board advisors, we know what it takes to scale a PE-backed company. Our team supports investors with asset evaluations, go-to-market assessments, integration planning, alternate sales channels, VCRO services, tech expense optimization, and cybersecurity risk programs. We don’t just advise, we act like owners and operators, because we’ve been in those seats.
What differentiates us is perspective. We operate at the intersection of technology, operations, and investment strategy. That allows us to benchmark against industry best practices, spot patterns early, and bring value that’s both strategic and actionable.
Four years in, I’m proud of the firm we’ve built, and I’m even more excited about the impact we’re having. If you're a private equity leader or a technology-focused executive looking for an edge, let's talk. We're here to help you accelerate growth and maximize value at every stage of the journey.
