At Meridian, we honor the businesses our founders have built, elevate our people, and forge relationships with our customers, investors, and team members designed to last decades.
What Makes Meridian Different?
Patient Capital
Others talk long-term—we’re built for it. For us, partnership isn’t a slogan, it’s a structural commitment.
No fund timelines. No forced exits. No short-term thinking.
Just meaningful founder liquidity, a legacy secured, and the opportunity to grow together for decades.
Operator-Empowered Governance
Our structure 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-centered Support
Our team comes from high technology, finance, consumer and more. But each of us chooses to work in blue-collar commercial services because we love the people business.
Unlike traditional buyout investors, we don’t view people as a line item. From leadership development to career coaching, we invest deeply in our teams.
People come first in everything we do.
Focused Fleet Expertise
Fleet services isn’t a passing interest for our investors—it’s our long-term commitment as operators.
We’re building the leading family of fleet repair and maintenance businesses in America, and we’re here for the long haul.
Others may come and go, but we will be here building alongside founders—brick by brick, year by year.
Meet Our Founder & CEO
Frankie founded Meridian to build enduring fleet services businesses—not to engineer quick flips.
A Pittsburgh native, he comes from three generations of small business founders in both blue-collar trades and white-collar services.
Frankie previously led two HVAC/R platforms now exceeding $1B in revenue, most recently founding and scaling Helios Service Partners into a national leader with 1,000 team members across 40+ states.
He’s committed to helping restore the skilled trades to their rightful place at the heart of American prosperity.
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.
We’d be honored to learn more about what you’ve built and explore how we can be the ideal partner for the next chapter.
