The Operand Group Welcomes Matthew Hooper as Newest Partner
BARRINGTON, IL. – The Operand Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Matthew Hooper as its newest Partner. Matthew brings a wealth of experience in search fund operations and a proven track record of driving significant value through strategic leadership and operational excellence.
Matthew’s most recent role was as CEO of Hometurf Lawn Care, a residential lawn care services company with offices across Canada. In 2020, Matthew acquired Hometurf from its original founders following nearly two years operating Hemlock Capital Partners, a traditional search fund he founded in 2018. During his tenure as CEO, Hometurf experienced substantial top-line growth and margin expansion, ultimately leading to a successful sale to a US-based private equity fund in 2023. This transaction delivered a remarkable return, resulting in exceptional outcomes for Hemlock investors.
Before founding Hemlock Capital Partners, Matthew served as Vice President of Operations for a management consulting firm specializing in operations consulting. He holds an MBA from Queen’s University’s Smith School of Business, where he graduated with distinction for academic excellence, and a BSc from the University of Victoria. Matthew resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and two sons.
“We are thrilled to welcome Matthew Hooper to the Operand Group team,” said Michael Miles, Co-Founder and Partner at the Operand Group. “His impressive background in search fund operations and proven success in scaling businesses make him a valuable addition to our firm as we continue to identify and unlock value in small, established companies.”
