Background
Danny Berberian is a Managing Partner (also listed as Managing Director) at Revolution Capital Group, a privately funded global private equity firm founded in 2009 with offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Beverly Hills, California. The firm specializes in the acquisition, operation, and improvement of middle-market companies — frequently through corporate carve-outs and divestitures — across a diverse array of industries.
Before Revolution Capital Group, Berberian was a Principal at Platinum Equity, the Beverly Hills–based private equity firm known for large-scale corporate carve-outs and operationally intensive turnarounds. That pedigree is notable: Revolution's founder and CEO, Robert Loring, also came from Platinum Equity (as VP of M&A) and H.I.G. European Capital, so the firm's DNA is heavily shaped by the Platinum "buy, fix, operate" carve-out model.
Berberian earned a Bachelor of Science degree, Summa Cum Laude, from the University of Southern California (USC). Public directory and financial-data profiles (Bloomberg, PitchBook, ZoomInfo, MarketScreener) consistently list him as a Managing Partner/Managing Director at Revolution Capital Group; he is not featured on the firm's current public team page, which today lists Robert Loring (Founder & CEO), Harry Cuadrado (Managing Director, Europe), and Neha Jadhav (VP – M&A).
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests via control acquisitions of mature, established middle-market companies — not seed/angel venture rounds despite the stub's labeling.
- Core strategy is corporate divestitures and carve-outs: buying non-core divisions and orphaned businesses from large corporations (past sellers/relationships include AT&T, BASF, Bayer, GE, IBM, Motorola, and Masco).
- Explicitly positions on "fair value and expedient solutions" for sellers and operational improvement of acquired businesses, partnering with management to stabilize and unlock value post-close.
- Sector-agnostic, targeting companies that provide "mission-critical products and services"; comfortable with complex, time-sensitive, or special-situation transactions.
- Geographic reach across North America and Europe, supported by a multilingual team.
Notable Investments
- Tvilum — European (Danish) ready-to-assemble furniture manufacturer; acquired from Masco Corporation in December 2013 (a corporate carve-out).
- Maysteel Industries — precision sheet-metal fabrication / industrial manufacturing.
- Contec — portfolio company (services/products business).
- Lawrence Schiff Silk Mills — narrow-fabrics / textiles manufacturer.
- Dove Professional Apparel — professional/uniform apparel maker.
- The Tampa Tribune — Florida daily newspaper (media/publishing).
- Clearwater Gazette — Florida community newspaper (media/publishing).
