His experience spans Fortune 500 companies, top-tier management consulting, and leading law firms, where he has supported and managed transactions from $10M to $10B.

Why we founded Fortress together:
Jonathan and Tate first met as strategy consultants, working late nights building business plans and presentations for corporate clients. Over many takeout meals in the office and travel to client sites, they became close friends and realized a shared entrepreneurial itch, desire to shape their own future, and want to see real, tangible impact of their work. This is where the idea of Fortress Holdings started to take shape. With a shared interest in building a lasting business and complementary skills to see it through, their mission is now to find the right founder-led company to preserve its legacy and build its future.
