MarginXL Capital Partners, an operational private equity firm,

formally launches with an innovative approach to middle market

investing based on operational improvement and advanced analytics.

MarginXL Capital seeks to address a sizeable gap in middle market

operational private equity investing, namely to harness and exploit

the explosion of data and to generate insights from that data to

improve profits and investment returns. Co-Founders George Stelling

and Bob Charles first met at Bain & Company and have strong experience

and capabilities in special situations and profit improvement from

both an operating and private equity perspective.

"We believe that we can address many of the important growth,

performance, and profit inhibitors in companies in the middle market,"

said George Stelling. "Our model is operational private equity

investing, with a strong overlay of advanced analytics and decision

science, to assist business owners who seek a partner that can not

only provide capital, but can also help improve performance, deliver

insights, and enhance enterprise value in their business."

MarginXL Capital focuses on investments in companies with revenues

between $10M and $200M and seeks to improve profits using both

advanced software tools that generate insights and a set of operating

improvement methods and governance techniques. MarginXL Capital is a

special situations investor, focusing on a variety of different types

of transactions, including owner-operator transitions, corporate carve

outs, take-privates, turnarounds, and restructurings. MarginXL Capital

plans to fill gaps in middle market companies in an environment where

there is a rapidly expanding universe of structured and unstructured

data and where over four million companies are expected to transfer

ownership over the next ten years, as the Baby Boomer generation

retires in the US and Canada.

Stelling and Charles worked closely together at Bain & Company in

Dallas, where they helped companies improve profitability in several

industries including transportation and technology. Each brings to the

firm significant private investing, line operations, data management,

international, governance, and leadership skills in both growth and

turnaround situations. George Stelling co-founded and was COO and

Managing Director at Prophet Equity LP, a $250M private equity buyout

fund focused on making control equity investments in underperforming

companies in the lower middle market. Charles has extensive operating

and financial experience that includes JP Morgan Chase Capital Markets

Group, Ford Motor Company and Ford Credit where he oversaw a $38

billion asset portfolio.

"We have an extraordinary cross functional team focused on originating

and closing transactions in a few key sectors, including technology,

automotive and transportation, business services, and aviation and

defense," commented Robert Charles. "We are rapidly adding to our team

and capabilities as we continue to scale our firm."

MarginXL Capital Partners is a different kind of operational private

equity firm focused on special situations private equity investing in

the middle market. MarginXL Capital employs operational know how,

advanced analytics, and strategic insights to grow profits and create
