About

Growth Experts

New Revolution Partners was created to help mid-market companies drive shareholder value creation.  We accelerate digital transformation by complementing the operational strengths of management teams, financial sponsors and technology vendors. We help companies re-imagine their business and execute opportunities via agile methods. To optimize digital investment, we work with Senior Leadership to determine which current digital initiatives to kill, which to keep and which to evolve.

Digital Transformation is about a change in mindset.  It requires new approaches and expert guidance. Our Partners have spent decades working with Private Equity firms, Private Equity-owned portfolio companies, Search Funds, start-ups and Fortune 1000 enterprises to achieve this change. We’ve run digital businesses and led dozens of transformation programs. Our work focuses on driving growth by executing opportunities that best leverage a company’s cash, assets, investments and off-balance sheet items.
