Traci Burgess

Operating Partner, Nexa

As a former CEO, I understand the operational complexities and strategic demands of scaling a business. At Nexa, we developed the Operating Partner program to provide our portfolio companies with experienced guidance, actionable insights, and the resources required to accelerate growth. Our objective is straightforward: to partner with strong leaders in building high-performing companies—with discipline, clarity, and measurable results.

Patrick Fingles

Founder & CEO, Leap

“At the onset of our partnership, Nexa strongly emphasized ensuring that one of our top priorities was dedicating a year to building the right team around me to be successful. This was a key focus for Nexa—something that other firms rarely, if ever, highlighted.”

Nick Mirisis

Nick Mirisis

CEO of Hometown

“I chose to work with Nexa because I saw very early on that everyone on the team including the operating partners really had a level of experience and depth in the space… it is comforting from an operator perspective to have someone that understands the strategy to be able to brainstorm and battle test some ideas with, and to make those ideas stronger, but also have the freedom to lead the business, and to lead the business in the right direction to achieve the outcome that we all want.”

Todd Gebski

CEO of Ladle

“A good capital partner is really 
critical from an augmentation standpoint of the internal team. 
And I think the Nexa team is really acquisitive and they certainly understand our business well enough to be serving up really tangible opportunities for us.”
