ABOUT

Built by operators. Composed by design.

QompoS embeds senior principals inside middle-market businesses. We do not advise. We compose.

(01) THE FIRM

The execution gap, closed from inside the seat.

QompoS Growth Partners is a senior-operator firm built to close the execution gap that consulting cannot. We embed inside companies between $50M and $500M in enterprise value, integrating capital, operations, technology, experience, and brand into operating systems that perform under real conditions.

Every engagement begins with a 14-day Composition Diagnostic and is led by the principal who scoped it. There is no delegation stack. The person in the room on day one is the person delivering outcomes on day ninety.

Our work spans fractional executive leadership, transaction advisory, post-acquisition stabilization, AI deployment, customer experience infrastructure, and brand architecture. Our edge is cross-sector pattern recognition: the operating logic that holds across industries, accumulated by principals who have run companies, not just advised them.

(02) TEAM

Every engagement led by the principal who scoped it.

Mike Rizkalla

Strategic Advisor — Technology & AI

Mike has built and raised capital for companies from the ground up and advised VCs and executive teams on product vision and commercialization.

Curtis Hale

Principal — Brand

Senior creative leader operating where brand has to perform inside a real commercial context. Curtis builds brand systems for businesses at inflection points: pre-transaction positioning, multi-site operational identity, and creative direction for AI-deployed products and emerging infrastructure businesses that are too complex for a traditional agency and too early for a holding company. Inside QompoS, Brand is a commercial capability, not a studio function. The work starts where most brand engagements end: identity and narrative built alongside the financial and operational restructuring, so the story a business tells to a buyer or investor reflects the operational reality the firm has built.

(03) SECTORS

Cross-sector pattern recognition is the edge.

Our principals have operated across consumer, financial services, industrial, technology, energy, healthcare, and infrastructure. Five sectors anchor our current engagement focus. The breadth is deliberate: operating logic that holds across industries is what middle-market businesses cannot get from single-domain firms.

(04) LOCATIONS

Senior principals operate from the New York metro area, with engagements across North America, LATAM, the EU, the UAE, GCC, and APAC.
