Title Chief Executive Officer – High Growth Landscaping Services Market Leader – Private Equity, 79066
Location Cleveland, OH
Reference Number 79066

Description

Our client is a leading, highly regarded private equity backed landscaping services company in need of a hands-on, proven landscaping industry CEO. We are seeking an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented CEO to lead the business through a buy-and-build strategy and ultimately a successful exit. This is an exciting opportunity to build a market-leading platform by combining organic growth with a disciplined acquisition strategy, integrating complementary businesses, and driving operational excellence, profitability, and scale.

The ideal candidate is a proven CEO, with experience in scaling multi-site, multi-brand service-based businesses, executing acquisitions, and creating significant enterprise value. Commercial and/or residential landscaping experience is highly preferred; however, a strong track record in a related outsourced services or route-based business, combined with a hands-on, commercially minded leadership style may also be considered. The successful candidate will lead with influence and will have proven success in managing multiple organizations that may have owner/operators at the helm. 

The compensation package includes a competitive base salary, performance-based bonus, and a compelling equity stake that offers the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the value created through the platform's growth and eventual exit.
