Capstreet has developed a really strong partnership approach. It’s comfortable for founders and surrounds them with a model for success that enables their business to thrive. > > CEO, Ontellus - > If you want to strengthen your organization and partner with a group that has proven operational experience, and can bring expertise and talent to bear, then I would strongly recommend partnering with Capstreet. > > Founder, GHX - > After partnering with Capstreet, I have unequivocally emerged from the other side a much more accomplished operator than when I went in. > > Founder, GHX Testimonials and endorsements of portfolio company executives and/or business owners are provided to demonstrate the benefits of working with the Capstreet team. They are not provided to solicit investors or to illustrate investment experience with Capstreet. Executives featured in the testimonials and endorsements receive a salary and economics from their respective portfolio company. No executives were paid for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that all executives stand to benefit from Capstreet’s success and their company is owned or partially owned by a Capstreet fund and is thus incented to provide favorable references. ## The people you would work with - [![George Kelly](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/george-kelly.HNGBg80L_Z1Ucknw.webp)**George Kelly**Co-Founder / Senior Advisor](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/george-kelly) - [![Neil Kallmeyer](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/neil-kallmeyer.v1pURvUV_Z1aKYW8.webp)**Neil Kallmeyer**Managing Partner](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/neil-kallmeyer) - [![Paul De Lisi](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/paul-de-lisi.DsR_OsWr_ZX4dea.webp)**Paul De Lisi**Partner](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/paul-de-lisi) - [![Adrian Guerra](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/adrian-guerra.BVu4Of0v_15ugFI.webp)**Adrian Guerra**Partner](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/adrian-guerra) - [![Kevin Johnson](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/kevin-johnson.BmwMB1Yg_ZNklWm.webp)**Kevin Johnson**Partner](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/kevin-johnson) - [![Mary Anne Capo](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/mary-anne-capo.YZdzUC7E_Z2j1jAN.webp)**Mary Anne Capo**Chief Financial Officer / Chief Compliance Officer](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/mary-anne-capo) - [![Rick Pleczko](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/rick-pleczko.BcHRoR1O_1vlTax.webp)**Rick Pleczko**Chief Executive Officer, Operating Executive Group](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/rick-pleczko) - [![Elliot Anton](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/_astro/elliot-anton.BMINkPWr_Z8yLTd.webp)**Elliot Anton**Analyst](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/team/elliot-anton) [Meet the whole team](https://capstreet.multisites.ai/our-team) ## For owners thinking about what is next Plain answers on selling, recapitalizing and growing with a private equity partner.
