Michael Aubrey is a seasoned operator who raised a search fund with his partner Dan Henn during the 2007–2009 cycle. They ultimately acquired StatLab Medical Products, which he ran for nine years and sold for an 11x return to investors.
“It’s gonna come down to you convincing them that you are the person they should trust their life’s work to.”
He later stepped in as CEO of Mission Veterinary Partners (MVP) when it was a small, struggling platform, and led a turnaround while scaling aggressively. Over roughly five years as CEO, MVP acquired about 300 hospitals, becoming a large multi-site operator.
Michael tells his story on the podcast and offers a clear look into what scaling through acquisition really involves.
