Following his graduation, he began his investment career as an Analyst in the Mergers & Acquisitions group at Harris Williams, a prominent middle-market investment bank.

In 2017, Pomeroy transitioned to the private equity side of the industry, joining J.H. Whitney Capital Partners as an investment professional. J.H. Whitney, founded in 1946 by industrialist and philanthropist John Hay "Jock" Whitney, is recognized as one of the pioneering firms in the private equity industry and is often credited with helping develop the modern private equity model. The firm has invested in over 400 companies since its founding and currently manages approximately $1.0 billion in private capital. During his five-year tenure at J.H. Whitney (2017-2022), Pomeroy was involved in evaluating and executing leveraged buyout investments across multiple sectors, participating in all aspects of the investment process from deal sourcing and due diligence to transaction execution and portfolio company monitoring.

In 2022, Pomeroy joined Littlejohn & Co., where he continues to focus on middle-market private equity investments. Littlejohn describes itself as an integrated private equity and special situations investment firm with an "all-weather" approach, operating across three synergistic strategies: private equity, opportunistic credit, and capital solutions. The firm focuses on industrial and services companies across North America and employs a team with an average partner tenure of approximately 20 years.

At Littlejohn & Co., Aaron Pomeroy focuses on middle-market leveraged buyout opportunities and growth equity investments, with particular emphasis on industrial and services companies. The firm's investment philosophy centers on identifying companies that can benefit from transformational growth through operational improvements, strategic initiatives, and capital deployment.

Sectors of Focus:

Investment Approach: Littlejohn employs a comprehensive approach across three core strategies:

1. Private Equity: Identifying and supporting middle-market companies through buyouts and growth initiatives, with a focus on operational value creation and long-term equity appreciation.

2. Opportunistic Credit: Investing in special situations and complex opportunities across the capital structure where the firm's deep industry expertise can create value.

3. Capital Solutions: Providing creative financing solutions for companies requiring liquidity, acquisition capital, or refinancing.

The firm's investment professionals leverage over 25 years of industry experience to partner with management teams and drive value creation through strategic growth, operational improvement, and disciplined capital allocation. Littlejohn's focus on industrial and services companies reflects a deliberate strategy to invest in sectors where the firm has developed deep expertise and established networks.

During his time at J.H. Whitney Capital Partners, Pomeroy gained experience investing across consumer, healthcare, and specialty manufacturing sectors. J.H. Whitney's investment strategy emphasizes small and middle-market buyouts and recapitalizations of growth-oriented U.S.-based companies, using debt capital to enhance but not drive returns, with a focus on long-term equity value creation through cash flow growth rather than financial engineering.
