Michael Carroll

Michael Carroll is the Chief Financial Officer of Triton Pacific Group and its subsidiaries, a role he has held for well over a decade (the firm's securities affiliate describes his tenure as more than 15 years). His work centers on financial accounting, overseeing fund finances, and managing investor relations across Triton Pacific's private equity funds and affiliated entities.

Before joining Triton Pacific, Carroll built his career in financial management for political organizations and spent time working in Washington. Notably, he served as Deputy Treasurer of "Virginians for Jerry Kilgore," a Richmond-based candidate committee, where he managed the committee's campaign contributions and finances.

Carroll holds a B.S. in Management from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.

As CFO, Carroll sits on the finance and operations side of Triton Pacific rather than the deal-sourcing/investment team. The firm's investment decisions are led by Managing Partner and founder Craig Faggen (CEO) alongside managing partners including Joe Davis (healthcare), Tom Scott, and B. David Buehler.

• Triton Pacific pursues control and structured investments in established lower-middle-market companies, emphasizing operational partnership over passive capital — targeting "businesses positioned for long-term growth through strategic partnership and flexible capital solutions."
• Sector-focused strategy: deep concentration in healthcare services (specialty pharmacy, pain/anesthesia, autism care, behavioral health, urology/GI management services) and multi-unit consumer/franchise operators, plus specialty finance and value-added real estate.
• Financial profile of targets: roughly $3M–$15M+ EBITDA and enterprise values up to about $150M; deal types include buyouts, growth equity, and structured capital.
• What makes them say yes: solid management teams, operational excellence opportunities, recurring/durable demand, and the ability to apply the firm's operational playbooks and shared infrastructure to scale a platform.
• Carroll's own remit is the capital, fund-finance, and investor-relations dimension — how deals are financed and reported to LPs — rather than setting the sector thesis.
