Our ability to generate performance across varying economic conditions stems from the belief that a focus on operational improvement is key. Profitable growth requires not only a wide range of sector knowledge but also the ability to have direct input with regard to strategic initiatives at the company level. At Castle Creek®, our lead involvement with portfolio companies is typically executed through board representation and partnering directly with senior executive teams. The Principals of Castle Creek® have over 100 years of collective experience as either executives or private equity investors in banking which not only cultivates a depth of knowledge about strategic and operational trends but we believe also provides important competitive advantages.
