Tucker's Farm Background

• We are a low-profile, value-oriented holding vehicle modeled after Berkshire Hathaway. The founders/investment team is comprised of value investors from Apollo Global Management (~$80bn private equity group) and Viking Global Investors (~$50bn hedge fund). We have various portfolio companies or ‘platforms’ (also known as rollups, aggregations or buy-and-builds). Each platform is capitalized with a long-term equity base and has the sole mandate of compounding cash flows for the long term, primarily through M&A. We have a broad mandate and look for opportunities across industries, geographies and the capital structure, although our primary focus is on rollups. We are investing out of our $110M holding company vehicle.

OVERVIEW OF CEO/CIO ROLE/RESPONSIBILITIES

• M&A/lntegration (75%)
  

  • Deploy ~$100M of equity through strategic acquisitions.
  • Source and evaluate acquisition opportunities in coordination with Tucker's Farm M&A team.
  • Lead integration of acquired businesses and develop playbook for future platform expansion.

• Platform Leadership (25%)

  • Lead operations of the platform after the acquisition of the first asset. This includes (1) providing daily operational leadership and strategic direction across all business units; (2) overseeing budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation via clear KPIs (and holding team members accountable); (3) leading recruitment, training, and development of management team members.
    

SUMMARY TRADE-OFFS OF THE OPPORTUNITY

1. You will be a CEO / CIO of a growing/highly acquisitive PE-backed platform with commensurate equity upside.

2. You will learn from a highly successful PE team with a top investing track record.

3. You will have a big title and significant responsibility.

4. You will have a lot of fun in a scrappy, entrepreneurial environment.

5. You will be doing a lot of highly operational, hands-on work.

6. If joining a large, established company with a big brand is appealing to you or you enjoy structured environments, then this opportunity is not a fit.
