Willow Lake Equity is a private investment firm with one goal: acquire and add immense value to one small to medium-sized business in the Salt Lake metro area. We are NOT a large private equity firm looking to cut costs just to sell to the next buyer. We are NOT your competitor who may slash your business and employees for profits. Instead, we offer you a unique exit path by taking a lead management role in the business, committing to the long-term success of the company and preserving the team & legacy that you've worked so hard to build.
My name is Reece Elmer, I am the founder and Principal of Willow Lake Equity.
I have a proven track record of growing revenue, teams and culture. I have built million dollar teams & processes to make life easier for employees while increasing the bottom line. As CEO of the company that we acquire, my focus is to protect the legacy that you've built while taking the company to new heights.
I live near Ogden, UT and received my BS in Professional Sales & Entrepreneurship from Weber State University and an MBA, also from WSU. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, hiking, fly fishing and especially skiing.
