CEO-in-Residence Program
We give you the tools and training you need to win as a CEO. We are dedicated to your success, providing committed capital, strategic guidance, operating playbooks, and a powerful peer community.
Support
We partner with you through your entire operating journey. You gain access to our best practices, playbooks, and external experts to guide your growth as a leader. We also give you the stability and freedom to operate at your best, including an onboarding program that launches you into sourcing and operating with confidence.
Economics
We support our CIRs with committed capital and a salary commensurate with your experience. We target $30M+ of equity behind each platform, providing the right foundation for our operators to focus on lasting value creation.
Fit
We believe industry expertise wins. We partner with CIRs who have deep experience in our core sectors, whether as consulting partners, P&L owners, or private equity-backed C-suite executives.
In the words of our CIRs
“All of my experiences with Brydon — from sourcing and acquiring, to operating and exiting — were deeply grounded in trust and partnership.”
"Brydon focuses on long term success, not just transactions. The depth of Brydon’s experience assured me that I could be successful with their support."
"It was an opportunity where I just had to take the shot, and I'm really glad I had the chance to do it with the Brydon Team"
CIR Backgrounds
Since 2022, we have backed 29 CIRs across four cohorts with 41 total acquisitions in software, business, and healthcare services.
