Background

Andrew Hudelson is a member of the private equity investment team at Harvest Partners, a New York–based private equity firm founded in 1981 that manages over $20 billion in assets (as of early 2026) across private equity, structured capital, and credit strategies. He joined Harvest in 2018. Public profiles (Bloomberg, Crunchbase) list his title variously as Vice President and Principal.

Before Harvest, Hudelson was a Senior Associate at Arsenal Capital Partners, where he focused on transactions in the specialty industrials sector. Earlier in his career he was an Associate at TPG Growth and began in finance as an investment banking analyst at Deutsche Bank. This path — bulge-bracket banking into growth equity and then middle-market buyouts — is typical of Harvest's deal professionals.

According to his firm biography, he holds a B.S. in Finance, Accounting, and Economics from Villanova University.

As part of Harvest's platform, Hudelson participates in sourcing, executing, and overseeing control investments and serves on portfolio-company boards. Note: Harvest's public team directory did not list him at the time of this research, so his current status at the firm could not be independently confirmed; treat the title/tenure details as most-recently-published rather than verified-current.

Investment Thesis & Focus

  • Invests as part of Harvest Partners' control-oriented private equity platform — leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth capital in established middle-market companies, not early-stage/venture deals.
  • Enterprise value focus of roughly $300M–$5B, with target EBITDA of ~$30M–$300M and revenue of ~$100M–$3B.
  • Sector concentration in Business Services & Industrials, Commercial Services, Consumer Services, and Healthcare Services.
  • Harvest describes its style as a "proactive, thematic and focused investment approach" — thesis-driven, underpinned by industry research and theme development, with heavy emphasis on partnering with management teams on multi-year value-creation plans (strategy, talent, operations) supported by its in-house Portfolio Support Group.
  • Says yes to high-quality, cash-generative businesses with strong management teams where Harvest can add value through operational support, add-on M&A, and capital.

Notable Investments

  • Fortis Solutions Group — Harvest acquired the label and packaging company from Main Post Partners (completed October 2021). Hudelson joined Fortis's Board of Directors alongside Harvest's Michael DeFlorio and James Mitchel and CEO John Wynne. This is his most clearly documented directorship/deal association.
  • As a member of Harvest's private equity team, he contributes to the firm's broader portfolio of middle-market business-services, industrials, consumer-services, and healthcare-services investments (firm-level; his individual deal roles beyond Fortis are not publicly detailed).
