Danny Carpenter

Danny Carpenter is a Managing Director at Resurgens Technology Partners, an Atlanta-based private equity firm focused on the enterprise software sector, which he joined in 2021. He was cited as a Principal at the firm as of late 2024 and appears to have since been elevated to Managing Director per the firm's current team page. At Resurgens he sources and leads software investments, drawing on a background that combines operating, consulting, and investing experience.

Before Resurgens, Carpenter spent roughly three years (circa 2018–2021) as a Vice President at Primus Capital, a growth-oriented private equity firm with offices in Cleveland and Atlanta. There he concentrated on the healthcare and education technology sectors and closed five platform investments and one add-on acquisition. This Primus tenure is the source of the stub profile's "Vice President / [hidden]" data, though he has since moved firms.

Earlier in his career, Carpenter was an Associate on the Business Operations / Finance team at Tesla, where he partnered with construction and manufacturing teams to ramp production capacity and drive cost reduction. Prior to Tesla he was a Consultant at McKinsey & Company, advising clients on supply chain, service operations, and manufacturing efficiency.

He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (with honors) from Virginia Tech and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
