Professional Relationships

The Primary Point of Contact.

Pacific Performance Group serves as the primary point of contact for bankers, attorneys, accountants, lenders, family offices, private equity firms, board opportunities, and other professional intermediaries seeking experienced operating leadership and strategic partnership.

The Community

Who Pacific Performance Group works with.

Pacific Performance Group is built to be the institutional point of contact for the professional community that brings lower-middle-market situations to capital and operating partners. Conversations begin direct, principal-reviewed, and confidential.

Three Commitments

How Pacific Performance Group engages.

Commitment 01

Clear Criteria.

You should know within a short conversation whether the situation fits Pacific Performance Group or one of its platforms — and why or why not. We publish our criteria and apply them honestly.

Commitment 02

Fast Evaluation.

Direct response within one business day from Pacific Performance Group or directly from the platform that fits. Initial evaluation in days, not weeks.

Commitment 03

Direct Access.

You reach a principal — not an analyst inbox. Operating partners are available where their input is decisive.

Routing

Which platform engages the situation.

Most submissions arrive without a label. Pacific Performance Group routes internally and engages from the platform that fits. The rough map:

PACKAGING

North American Corrugated

Operating intervention, four-wall recovery, multi-plant operations, ownership transition, or EBITDA pressure inside a corrugated, display, folding carton, or graphics-heavy packaging business.

FOOD & MULTI-UNIT

Potenza Food Group

Operator-led intervention and AI-enhanced operating intelligence inside a restaurant group, coffee operator, bakery, or specialty food business.

CAPITAL & OWNERSHIP

Donato Capital Partners

Control acquisitions, majority recapitalizations, founder succession, management buy-ins, growth partnerships, distressed acquisitions, corporate carve-outs, or add-ons in the $5M–$75M revenue band.

Unclear, broader, or board / family-office level? Reach Pacific Performance Group directly. Strategic relationships, board introductions, and cross-platform situations are engaged at the PPG level.

Submission

Direct, confidential, principal-reviewed.

Send the situation with the relevant CIM, teaser, profile, or summary attached — or schedule a brief call first if you would rather scope it verbally. Either way, you reach a principal — not an analyst inbox — and you will hear back within one business day from Pacific Performance Group or directly from the platform.

Submit an Opportunity or Introduction

Have a situation, introduction, or opportunity we should review?

One submission. One business day. Direct response from Pacific Performance Group or the platform that fits.
