About Tim Jackson
I am a private equity–backed operating executive with a track record of scaling multi-site, regulated businesses through organic growth, M&A integration, and operational discipline — building durable platforms prepared for exit.Currently, I serve as Chief Operating Officer of a PE-backed dental platform, where I previously led the organization as Interim CEO. During this period, I helped scale the business from $19M to $60M in revenue through a combination of 60%+ organic growth and six completed acquisitions, with a seventh acquisition pending that will take the platform beyond $70M. This work has included integrating founder-led businesses, executing a court-approved bankruptcy acquisition, and navigating complex operational and cultural transitions.Along the way, we professionalized operations, built scalable leadership structures, expanded into new retail channels, launched a customer-facing digital platform, and removed over $1M in structural costs while maintaining strong margins.Previously, I led North American operations for Philips Personal Health, overseeing a $1.3B portfolio across manufacturing, supply chain, and commercial operations. In that role, I drove large-scale digital and operational transformations, including AI/ML-enabled demand forecasting, greenfield automation projects, and end-to-end supply chain modernization.Across both PE-backed and public-company environments, my operating focus has been consistent: bring structure to complexity, scale leadership capability, and convert growth into sustainable enterprise value. I am frequently brought into founder-led and fast-growing organizations to help transition from entrepreneurial execution to repeatable, scalable operating models.Core areas of focus include: • Scaling platform businesses through organic growth and M&A • Post-acquisition integration, including distressed and bankruptcy situations • EBITDA expansion through cost structure, pricing, and process discipline • Executive team development and performance-driven culture • Digital transformation, automation, and data-enabled decision-makingI am most effective in environments where the mandate is clear: build a scalable platform, manage complexity and risk, and prepare the business for its next phase of growth or liquidity.
