Acquiring and Operating Established Bay Area Businesses

Longview is seeking to acquire a single, profitable, well-run business in the San Francisco Bay Area.

About Longview

Built on experience. Focused on the long term.

I bring over 15 years of executive level experience across investments, private equity and operations and am now focused on transitioning into direct business ownership through acquisition.

My background includes evaluating complex transactions, partnering with cross-functional leadership teams, and helping businesses scale from sub-scale operations to institutional platforms. I approach ownership with a long-term mindset, strong financial discipline and deep respect for what already works.

My objective is simple: acquire one high-quality business, preserve its culture and strengths, and grow it thoughtfully over time. I am a serious, well-capitalized buyer committed to a straightforward process and a smooth transition for owners, employees and customers.
