WALNUT CREEK, Calif., July 12, 2022 (Newswire.com) - SBJ Capital ("SBJ") is pleased to announce the creation of an Operations Group with the hiring of John Dahlgren as the Vice President of Talent. SBJ has always sought to attract world-class talent to lower middle-market companies and John will bolster our ability to support the human capital needs of our partner company management teams.
John brings over 13 years of experience in executive recruitment, human capital planning, and private equity. John will collaborate with SBJ's investment teams, partner company executives, and executive recruiters to develop and execute customized recruiting plans for strategic hires. He will manage talent assessments, proactively monitor human capital needs, and install best practices for talent acquisition.
Prior to joining SBJ, John served as EVP of Talent at Tide Rock Holdings ("Tide Rock"), an investment firm focused on lower middle-market buyouts of founder-led businesses. John managed the talent function across a portfolio of 11 companies in services, healthcare, and manufacturing. He also cultivated a bench of industry advisors to support commercial due diligence and the sourcing of potential investment opportunities.
