# EG Operating Partners > EG Operating Partners provides senior operating partner advisory for private equity-backed companies, mid-market boards, and Fortune 100 C-suites. We rebuild operating backbones, improve EBITDA and free cash flow, and convert value creation plans into measurable financial results. Western U.S.-based. Available nationally and internationally. ## About EG Operating Partners was founded by Jason Davis, MBA, a transformation executive with direct P&L experience inside enterprises valued up to $24 billion, across growth, distress, turnaround, and exit scenarios. EG partners directly with PE sponsors, founders, owner-operators, and their executive teams. There is no junior staff and no framework presentations — only senior operator expertise applied directly to the problem. The firm exists because a pattern repeats across environments: organizations that underperform almost always know what is wrong. What they lack is the operating discipline, financial clarity, and management rigor to fix it while the business keeps running. ## Core Thesis Most mid-market companies do not have a strategy problem. They have an operating model problem. The ceiling on what a business can produce is set not by its strategy, but by its operating model — the combination of metrics, accountabilities, decision rights, management cadences, and reporting infrastructure that determines whether strategy translates into profit and cash. ## Services ### Operating Backbone Design & Implementation Design and implementation of the full operating backbone: governing metrics, single accountable owners, decision rights, management cadences, and reporting infrastructure connecting strategy to daily execution and profit. ### Operational Assessment & Diagnostic A structured diagnostic that identifies where the operating model is constraining EBITDA, cash flow, and exit value. Delivered in days, not months. ### Pre-Transaction Operating Due Diligence Operating diligence for PE sponsors evaluating acquisition targets. Surfaces operating model risk, value creation potential, and Day 1 priorities before the transaction closes. ### Value Creation Plan Execution Converts value creation plans from Excel documents into operating reality — with the metrics, accountabilities, and management rhythms that move EBITDA and free cash flow. ### Interim & Fractional Operating Executive Senior interim or fractional CFO, COO, or Chief Transformation Officer. Accountable leadership without the permanent hire, for PE-backed and owner-operated businesses. ### AI & Workflow Transformation Identifies where AI investment is producing activity instead of financial return and redesigns the operating model so that AI and automation translate into measurable EBITDA and cash flow. ## Who We Serve - PE Sponsors and their portfolio companies - Mid-market boards of directors - Owner-operators and founders - Fortune 100 C-suite executives - Companies operating under federal compliance mandates (FAR/DCAA) - Companies at pre-transaction, pre-close, and post-close stages ## Ownership Types Served - PE-Backed - Founder-Owned - Family-Owned - Private Companies - Pre-Transaction - Board-Led ## Industries Professional services, healthcare operations, technology, federal contractors, diversified industrials, and owner-operated businesses across verticals. ## Key Concepts **Operating Backbone**: The set of governing metrics, accountabilities, decision rights, management cadences, and reporting infrastructure that connects strategy to daily execution. Without an operating backbone, strategy lives in slide decks and value creation plans live in Excel. **Value Creation Plan (VCP)**: A PE sponsor's roadmap for improving the operating and financial performance of a portfolio company. Most VCPs fail to reach the income statement because the operating model cannot convert them into results. **Operating Model**: The combination of purpose, value agenda, structure, governance, processes, technology, behaviors, rewards, and talent that together determine how value is created and protected — and sets the ceiling on what the business can produce. **EBITDA Improvement**: The operating and financial disciplines that structurally improve earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization — the primary measure of operating performance in PE-backed companies. ## Founder **Jason Davis, MBA** Founder & Transformation Executive LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonsdavis/ Jason Davis has run P&Ls inside enterprises valued up to $24 billion, across growth, distress, turnaround, and exit.
