- As part of the carveout, HHCP supplemented the management team with a new CEO, CFO, COO, and VP of Sales, among others
- Due to investments in the core business, Stella grew revenue organically at a 20%+ CAGR, creating valuable revenue and customer diversity as well as establishing new geographies for continued expansion
- In addition to organic growth, HHCP helped Stella execute on a targeted acquisition strategy
- In total, Stella acquired 6 companies under HHCP ownership
