Background
Bobby Sawicki is a Managing Director for Investments at Crosstimbers Capital Group, a Houston-based private equity firm founded in 2016 that provides formation capital to scalable platform companies that acquire, develop, and operate hard assets. In firm press releases he is described as a "Partner," and he is one of the senior investment professionals working alongside co-founders and managing partners David L. Hollon and Trevor J. Brock.
Before joining Crosstimbers, Sawicki was a Vice President at Quantum Energy Partners (part of Quantum Capital Group), a large Houston-based energy-focused private equity firm — experience that anchors his background in real-asset and infrastructure investing.
He was educated at Texas A&M University, where he earned an M.S. in Finance and a B.B.A. in Accounting (with honors). His accounting and finance training underpins Crosstimbers' approach of underwriting cash-flowing, capital-intensive infrastructure businesses.
At Crosstimbers, Sawicki has been publicly associated with the firm's digital-infrastructure investing, including its backing of Tachus, a fiber-to-the-home broadband provider in the Greater Houston area. He served as the firm's spokesperson on the 2021 Tachus growth investment.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests through Crosstimbers' strategy of early-stage, control investing paired with real-asset ownership — building hard-asset businesses "from inception" with experienced operating partners.
- Core sectors: digital infrastructure (fiber/broadband, wireless), water and wastewater utilities, power/renewables, and transportation/logistics.
- Seeks scalable platform companies that acquire, develop, and operate hard assets producing durable, utility-like cash flows.
- Prioritizes aligned partnerships with proven operators rather than passive minority stakes — the firm emphasizes "bringing people, capital, and opportunities together."
- Stated thesis in his own words on the Tachus deal: *"Crosstimbers is excited to continue supporting the Tachus team as they re-invent the high-speed Internet experience while providing exceptional customer service."*
