About Andy Schwartz
I advise Private Equity firms and portfolio company leadership teams on operational value creation across the deal lifecycle, from diligence and 100-day planning through execution and sustainable performance improvement.With a background in operations leadership across manufacturing, distribution, and services environments, I lead operational assessments that translate quickly into actionable value creation plans. My work focuses on EBITDA expansion, cost structure optimization, working capital improvement, and scalable operating models.Beyond execution, I partner closely with sponsors to shape value creation strategy, pressure-test operating assumptions, and identify incremental upside opportunities. I’m passionate about helping firms professionalize operating disciplines, strengthen KPI governance, and build repeatable playbooks that drive consistent outcomes across portfolios.Contact me if you’re evaluating an investment or looking to accelerate results within a portfolio company!
