Transformative Business Strategies and Sustainable Bottom-Line Results
Highland is not a holding company seeking to acquire assets. We are visionaries, enthusiasts and operators looking for a company or synergistic companies whose growth potential in the infrastructure space is significant and possibly under-appreciated. We take a “roll your sleeves up” approach to come alongside business owners and management teams to develop transformative growth strategies, instill new energy and ideas and lead the enterprise to exceptional bottom-line results. In full collaboration with the team, we will engage in the day-to-day operations of the company and eliminate the non-essential functions that can bog down management in small firms. This approach provides on-going business certainty to the transitioning owner and brings an infusion of strategic, operational, and business development talent focused on the long term success of the company and its employees.
