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
