CEO Insights

“When I was the Chief Executive Officer of Eemax, the Millpond Principals brought a thoughtful and empathetic approach to value creation in the business, which, based on my considerable experience working for private equity sponsors, is something of a rarity. Their prior experience partnering with and running companies enabled them to effectively support me as a thoughtful and credible sounding board for key issues in the business.”
