SAWTOOTH CAPITAL PARTNERS

Prior to joining North Castle Partners in March 2017 as a business development consultant, Whitt Barnard formed Sawtooth Capital Partners in Boise, Idaho in September 2007 in order to affiliate with two private equity firms, J.H. Whitney (2007-2009) and Encore Consumer Capital (2009-2017). His principal role with JHW and ECC was to assist their investment teams in identifying and helping to close attractive opportunities in the pacific northwest and intermountain regions of the U.S. During this 10 year period, Whitt focused on a variety of consumer product sectors including branded food & beverage; personal care; household products; pet products; outdoor gear, accessories & apparel; and leisure products. He successfully generated proprietary deal flow for both Whitney and Encore as a result of a pro-active direct calling program as well as a relationship building effort at trade shows with numerous business owners and CEO's who were promoting their brands.
