OUR TEAM
Brian McCollough
General Partner
With a career that began on the shop floor and progressed to executive leadership, I bring a hands-on, operational approach to business transformation. Over the past five years, I have helped business owners make their companies scalable, achieve substantial growth, and improve profitability. This real-world experience has shown me what it truly takes—not just in theory but in practice—to elevate businesses to new heights.
Starting as a general laborer and advancing to Chief Operating Officer, I’ve worked through the challenges at every level of business. My background in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA complement my practical experience, giving me a robust understanding of how to drive operational success, leadership development, and financial performance.
At NXTStage Holding Group, I’m focused on acquiring and investing in businesses to unlock their full potential. I combine my operational expertise and strategic insight to help companies grow better, faster, and more profitably. By working closely with businesses to implement structured, results-oriented improvements, I ensure they’re positioned for enduring success in competitive markets.
