Brian Scheel

Chief Commercial Officer

Growth-focused operating executive with 20+ years of experience building, scaling, and transacting technology and services businesses across private equity-backed and enterprise environments.
My career has centered around helping companies accelerate revenue growth, improve EBITDA, professionalize go-to-market operations, and position organizations for strategic transactions. I’ve led businesses from inception through scale and ultimately to successful exits through a combination of commercial strategy, operational execution, strategic partnerships, and transformation leadership.
I was a Founding Partner of the Business Transformation practice at CFGI, a portfolio company of The Carlyle Group and CVC Capital Partners, where we scaled the practice to more than 140 professionals within four years. During that time, I partnered with private equity firms and portfolio companies across both public and private markets to execute transformation and value creation initiatives. I also served as a member of the Carlyle North America CIO Advisory Board. Previously, at Arrow Digital, I helped build, operationalize, and scale the organization as part of the executive leadership team. I was also a member of the deal team that helped position the company for acquisition by Cognizant through strong growth and EBITDA performance. Today, my focus is helping organizations leverage AI, automation, and modern go-to-market strategies to drive scalable growth and operational efficiency within PE-backed and technology-enabled businesses
