Chief Executive Officer

Gulfstream Staffing, Inc.

Chief Executive Officer

We are looking to identify the next Chief Executive Officer for a rapidly scaling facilities-maintenance platform — generating $120M+ in revenue. This platform sits at the intersection of manufacturing, industrials, logistics, and essential services — sectors where we have deep operating experience and proven success. The mission is to build the next-generation independent leader in a $100B+ fragmented industry, spanning janitorial, engineering, HVAC, lighting, energy efficiency, pest control, sustainable/LEED cleaning, and other maintenance verticals.

The CEO will take the reins of a powerful foundation and lead the integration of three regional businesses into one national, institutional-quality operator — uniting teams, driving efficiencies, and positioning the platform for sustained growth through both organic initiatives and acquisitions.

Key Responsibilities
Integration & Transformation
  • Lead the integration of three independent companies into a single, unified platform.
  • Build centralized functional infrastructure across finance, HR, procurement, IT, sales, and operations.
  • Capture and deliver synergies in SG&A, routing, and procurement, expanding EBITDA margin by 400+ basis points.
  • Establish a performance-driven culture grounded in accountability, efficiency, and shared purpose.
Strategy & Growth
  • Design and execute a multi-year growth plan focused on market density, cross-selling, and M&A.
  • Source and integrate strategic add-on acquisitions to expand geographic reach and service breadth.
  • Architect the go-to-market strategy — brand platform, sales engine, KPIs, and customer retention model.
Leadership & Team Building
  • Recruit, develop, and inspire a world-class executive team across operations, finance, sales, and HR.
  • Blend entrepreneurial agility with institutional rigor to professionalize and scale the organization.
  • Be a visible, hands-on leader — credible to both frontline employees and investors.
Financial & Operational Discipline
  • Own full P&L accountability across all business units.
  • Drive data-driven management: contract profitability, utilization, safety, and customer satisfaction.
  • Optimize working capital, pricing, and cash conversion to maximize enterprise value.
  • Deliver board- and lender-ready reporting with transparency and precision.
Stakeholder & Board Management
  • Partner closely with the Executive Chairman and sponsor team on strategy and governance.
  • Engage directly with capital providers, understanding leverage dynamics and liquidity management.
  • Represent the company externally with customers, suppliers, regulators, and communities.
Ideal Profile
  • Experience: 15–25 years in facilities services, industrial services, logistics, or related operational industries.
  • P&L Scope: Has owned a $50–$300 million P&L or led a large regional division with full accountability.
  • Integration Skill Set: Proven success integrating acquisitions or managing complex multi-site operations.
  • Leadership Style: Direct, decisive, and execution-driven, with high emotional intelligence and team alignment.
  • Financial Acumen: Fluent in EBITDA dynamics, cash flow, and value creation in leveraged environments.
  • Mindset: Entrepreneurial, scrappy, and hungry — thrives amid complexity and opportunity.
  • Personal Qualities: Integrity, grit, and credibility across every level — from the front line to the boardroom.
Compensation & Structure
  • Competitive base salary and annual performance bonus.
  • Meaningful equity participation via a Management Incentive Plan (10–15% pool) tied to EBITDA and enterprise value growth.
  • Comprehensive benefits and relocation flexibility as appropriate.
  • Direct reporting to the Executive Chairman and sponsor team — real decision-making authority.

Interviewing immediately. Please send resume to View email address on click.appcast.io for consideration.
