Transom Capital Group has appointed Jeff Haight as an operating partner, tasking him with overseeing value creation initiatives across select portfolio companies. Haight brings extensive operational experience to the private equity firm, where he will focus on driving performance improvements and strategic growth across Transom's investments.

Haight previously served as CEO of Locana, an engineering and consulting services company. Before that role, he worked as senior vice president at CH2M, holding multiple executive leadership positions. His career spans both corporate leadership and entrepreneurship, having co-founded two network security companies during his tenure in the technology sector.

The appointment signals Transom's push to strengthen operational expertise within its investment platform. Haight's background in scaling businesses and his technical industry experience should prove valuable for portfolio companies seeking transformation. His nonprofit board experience also suggests strong governance capabilities that private equity firms prize when working with management teams.

This operating partner model reflects how private equity firms increasingly rely on seasoned executives to create value beyond financial engineering. Haight's mandate to work across select portfolio companies indicates Transom is prioritizing operational improvements as a core strategy.
