Our Mission

At Meridian, we honor the businesses our partners have built, invest deeply in our people, and forge partnerships with our customers and team members designed to last decades.

What Makes Meridian Different?

Meridian is not structured like a private equity roll up —and that makes all the difference

Permanent Capital

Others talk long-term–we’re built for it. Partnership isn’t a slogan but a structural commitment.

No fund timelines. No short-term thinking.

Just meaningful founder liquidity, a legacy secured, and the opportunity to grow together for decades.

Operator-Empowered Governance

Our governance gives operators real authority, backed by a team that’s built a billion-dollar service platform.

We support partner businesses with deep expertise across talent, finance, HR, legal, IT, strategy, procurement, and more.

We’re not just capital—we’re operators who’ve faced the same challenges and are here to help.

People-First Infrastructure

Our team comes from blue-collar services, high technology, finance, and more. But each of us chooses to work in blue-collar commercial field services because we love the people business.

From leadership development to career coaching, we invest deeply in our teams. People come first in everything we do.

Our Values

Safety

We protect our team and customers by making safety priority one in everything we do.

Honesty

We say what we mean, own our mistakes, and earn trust through transparency.

Grit

We show up with resilience, work ethic, and a bias for action—especially when it’s hard.

Customer-First

We only succeed when our customers do, and we never forget that we exist to serve them.

Urgency

The communities that rely on us cannot wait, so we move with purpose and speed in all that we do.

Excellence

Excellence isn’t an aspiration. It’s a habit. We show up, do the work, and get better every day.

Let’s talk about what’s next.
