Big Sky Partners LLC

Big Sky is a strategic creative and corporate development agency platform I established over a year ago in NYC to bring impactful strategic and corporate development advice to private emerging, niche, and heritage lifestyle brands (and their CEOs and owners) in the U.S. and Europe. Prior to establishing BSP, I invested in and/or advised almost fifteen private consumer related companies since 2002 independently and in concert with a colorful and powerful cast of characters. Through this self selected journey, I realized that I have gained a tremendous global experience and network to monetize in a non-investor capacity in the service of brand-related clients and their objectives. I have several exciting brand clients, and impactful firm advisors. I am the founder and CEO and now have a few special partners / owners lined up for the platform. Our advisor partners, excluding myself, hail from (as executives from and/or investors in) top consumer companies including IMG, NBC, Time Warner, AMEX, Financo, Tory Burch, Issey Miyake, Turnbull & Asser, among others. Big Sky serves both online and offline clients, across luxury and mass, although always where there is an inspiring brand, talented owners and investors, and a chance to create significant wealth for the client (and occasionally, us). For a glimpse of our services, expertise, and team, Please see our site www.bigskypartners.net. I continue to control and manage our private investment firm, Circle Peak Capital, to make opportunistic control and non-control investments in consumer companies, and now considering our 9th buyout and 14th investment since 2002 (collectively involving purchase value of over $500M, equity of over $175M, and numerous of the world's top private capital general partners and limited partners).
