Don Filipovich is the President of Tri Capital Financial, Inc. Mr. Filipovich founded Tri Capital Financial with a vision of helping profitable companies realize their full growth potential by identifying attractive growth opportunities in targeted sectors, closely examining operations for operational improvements and efficiencies, and looking for follow-on acquisition strategies and opportunities. The business model of Tri Capital Financial is to invest in growing, profitable, privately held companies with proven business models, records of revenue and earnings growth, and the leadership capable of sustaining that growth. Mr. Filipovich recognized a need in the equity market. Many principals who owned and operated equity firms did not have hands-on operational experience, but instead had only academic knowledge. Leveraging his extensive experience in sales, his practical operations planning experience, as well as his academic knowledge, Mr. Filipovich excels in structuring complex large transactions. This unique ability allows him to structure transactions that foster long-term growth, ensure the financial stability for the company, maximize shareholder value, and reward his investors through sound investments that yield excellent returns. For the last 15 years, Mr. Filipovich has been responsible for structuring multi-million dollar transactions involving Fortune 500 clients.
