Hi, I’m Lex Sodipe - My primary goal is to acquire and grow a business cycle resistant services business, leveraging my expertise in strategy, operations, and finance to enhance profitability, expand market reach, and create long-term value.

I aim to preserve your company’s legacy and implement scalable processes that drive sustainable growth through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. I believe small businesses are the heartbeat of their communities, and I’m committed to providing owners with a seamless transition, ensuring your business continues to thrive and the hard work you have put in is recognized and legacy you have built continues.

Entrepreneurship runs deep in my family. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the determination and creativity it takes to build something meaningful. I had the privilege of helping my parents start and grow their own business, from assisting with sales to bridging language gaps when working with foreign suppliers. Those early experiences taught me the value of resilience, service, and treating every challenge as an opportunity.  

Professionally, I’ve built a 13+ year career across Corporate Strategy, Finance, Investment Banking, Private Equity, and Go-to-Market roles. In these roles, I have led 10+ person teams, led operations, finance, hiring and growth strategy at acquired firms and created go-to-market strategy for $1bn+ services. I have also worked in a startup to bring in its first customers and hiring and managing its first employees, and have also previously bought, built and sold an e-commerce business.  I earned my MBA from Yale, where I deepened my understanding of leadership and business operations. These experiences, combined with my upbringing, have equipped me with the skills and vision to lead a business with integrity, care, and a focus on long-term success.  

I live in Silver Spring, Maryland, with my wonderful wife, Rachel, and our energetic black Labrador, Lila. My values are deeply rooted in my upbringing, which emphasized faith, community, and a commitment to doing right by others—values I carry with me in every aspect of my life and work. In my free time I enjoy hiking, soccer, pickleball, NFL and fantasy football, and have been an Arsenal fan for over 20 years.

I’m excited to connect with business owners who are ready to entrust their legacy to a new steward, and I look forward to building relationships grounded in mutual respect and shared goals.
