The professionals at HCI Equity Partners provide a unique and complementary mix of skills built on successful and extensive operating and investment experience. The Firm is led by Managing Partners Dan Dickinson, Doug McCormick and Scott Rued. While the Partners have led and guided the company together since 2003, they have a long history of successful working relationships with one another prior to working as a team at HCI Equity Partners. All three Partners share a common vision and mission as well as a common perspective on critical success factors which results in a strong, cohesive culture of success at the firm.
Joining the Managing Partners are three full time Operating Partners, Ike Evans, Jim Forese and Dick Snell, all of whom have distinguished records as senior corporate executives. The three Operating Partners have an average of over 38 years of operational leadership in major industrial companies such as Union Pacific, IKON Office Solutions, General Motors, IBM, Tenneco Automotive and Emerson Electric.
Four Managing Directors, with a solid history of success, support the Partners. All of the Managing Directors have held operating leadership positions, have LBO experience, and have substantial industrial sector knowledge. The team is rounded out with an impressive Vice President and Associate staff and is supported by a professional finance team.
With over 270 years of combined experience managing and investing in industrial products and services companies, and with eight of ten principals having been CEO, President or CFO in this sector during their careers, HCI Equity Partners' investment professionals are clearly distinguished from other buyout firms in the lower end of the middle market.

| • Anheuser-Busch • Arvin-Meritor • Caterpillar • Commercial Vehicle Group • Cooper Industries • Emerson Electric |
