BEAU HARALSON

Beau Haralson is Co-Managing Partner of 528 Partners, an independent sponsor building a lower-middle-market platform in services and commercial construction. He has provided buy-side guidance on more than $150M in roll-up capital and works directly with owners and management teams through acquisition and integration. 528 builds its own off-market deal flow, and Beau is glad to share the tools and approaches the team uses to find and win over quality sellers.
Before private equity, Beau built and sold businesses on the operating side. He co-founded Clymb Marketing, named Digital Marketer's Agency of the Year among roughly 1,500 agencies, and later served as CMO of Human Design, where he doubled revenue and ran national campaigns with LeBron James, Cindy Crawford and Drew Barrymore. Today he also advises growth-stage brands on sales, marketing and acquisition strategy.
Beau is a Texas A&M graduate. He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Jenna, and their two children, and spends his time off outdoors playing with the whole crew as much as he can.
