Operating Partner Principle Navigator is not driven by short-term investment goals, but, rather, by a studied effort to build long-term operational value with the management team. Navigator principals, through their significant operational experience, help guide overall strategy for growth and earnings enhancement, but, do not manage businesses on a day-to-day basis. In addition, Navigator seeks to strictly align its objectives with those of management and investors. Navigator will become, in essence, the portfolio company's partner in overall strategy development and implementation.
