Executive Leadership
Interim or Fractional — Matched to the Situation.
An interim CEO steps in full time for a defined period — after a departure, during a turnaround or through a succession. A fractional CEO provides senior planning and accountability on a set schedule for companies that do not need a full-time executive.
Acquisitions
What We Look For in a Business.
- Established, privately held operating companies and productive assets
- Michigan as our primary focus, with broader opportunities considered case by case
- Manufacturing, logistics, industrial services and supply-chain businesses
- An understanding of the owner's objectives and the circumstances of a transaction
- A confidential first discussion for interested business owners
Private Equity & Partnerships
Operating Leadership. Investment Relationships. Long-Term Value.
Cherry Capital Ventures builds relationships with investors, business owners and executive leaders to explore operating leadership engagements, business acquisitions and opportunities for long-term value creation.
