Nate is a Partner and the CEO of Bestige. He oversees the investment team, operations team, and administrative functions, while partnering closely with portfolio company CEOs and their teams to drive growth and performance. Nate pairs his private investing experience with a decade of operations experience having served in multiple executive roles in private equity owned businesses.

He lived the realities of private equity ownership from the operator’s chair, navigating rapid growth, managing through complexity, and building teams that had to perform under pressure. He came to Bestige with a clear conviction that the best investors are the ones who truly understand what it takes to run a business, and that belief sits at the heart of what Bestige was built to be.

Nate resides in Nashville with his wife, son, and daughter. In addition to enjoying good food and live music, he helps coach his son’s baseball team.
