About Aaron B.

I lead field and enterprise operations within private equity-backed, multi-site service platforms, aligning distributed field operations to board-level strategy and sponsor expectations.At American Restoration (Morgan Stanley portfolio company), I oversee platform operations across 25 brands and 60+ locations nationwide. My scope spans procurement, estimating, fleet, safety, real estate, shared services, and post-acquisition integration, driving operating discipline, margin expansion, and scalable systems across a rapidly growing platform.Previously at United Site Services (Platinum Equity), I led enterprise transformation initiatives across a ~$1B, 135-location organization, delivering meaningful EBITDA improvement through operating model transformation and enterprise integration across a 135-location platform.Earlier in my career, I commanded a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron operating across three continents, leading personnel with full accountability for performance, safety, and mission execution under pressure. That experience continues to shape how I lead: clear ownership, disciplined execution, and accountability at every level.While I operate comfortably at board level, I believe durable performance is built through people. I invest heavily in leadership development, align teams around clear expectations, and build cultures where accountability and trust coexist.I am most effective in complex, distributed service businesses where integration, operating rigor, and margin expansion determine enterprise value. I partner comfortably with sponsors, executives, and field leaders to align strategy with execution and position platforms for durable growth.I am always open to conversations with leaders, sponsors, and operators focused on scaling multi-site service platforms and building high-performing organizations.
