About Darryl S. Niven
Salt Creek Capital partners with experienced Operating Executives to acquire and recapitalize profitable small to medium sized companies seeking additional capital or ownership change across a variety of industries and business types, including Industrial manufacturing & services, consumer products, various service businesses and distribution. Senior Executive, Business Transformation & Global Operations / Hardwiring Continuous Improvement in Business Growth, Operations, Supply Chain, Innovation, Sustainability and Growth into the Core DNA of Organizations. For over two decades, senior leaders have relied on me to bridge the gap between “reactive” businesses and operations that are continuously bleeding costs, performance, and talent, to “proactive” businesses that can actively ride the wave of change to leapfrog past business constraints and competitors. Full-scope business turnarounds and massive OpEx gains. Revitalizing dormant product lines, growing businesses exponentially in many mature and developing markets around the world, and bringing game-changing technology to the mainstream. I’ve been lucky enough to serve on the frontlines of it all and I enjoy the challenges. I lead with Passion & Grit and bring an absolute commitment to delivering results through building motivated, engaged teams that want to succeed. Happy to connect with others who share this perspective!
