What we do
Our approach
Confidential conversation: Every conversation starts owner-to-owner, directly with our CEO, Shawn, no intermediaries required. We take the time to understand what matters to you before any terms are discussed: your employees, your customers, your legacy.
Practical valuation: We look at recurring revenue, margin durability, team depth, contract quality, and debt capacity rather than headline multiples alone. Where a deal makes sense for both sides, we move deliberately and transparently through a structured process, backed by committed capital and a governance framework designed for long-term stewardship, not a quick resale.
Transition planning: The seller’s role, customer communication, employee continuity, and operating cadence are mapped before close.
Long-term operation: After closing, we run the company with a bias toward stable service delivery, clean reporting, and measured improvement.
Chief Executive officer
Shawn founded Crestline after a career in sales leadership across startups, scale-ups, and billion-dollar organizations, most recently as Head of Sales before building Crestline full-time. He leads sourcing, diligence, and every owner relationship personally, built around a simple thesis: commercial cleaning is fragmented, and few acquirers bring real sales infrastructure to the table.
Chair, ICD.D
Jessie is a Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair with a global track record across Canada, Indonesia, and Australia, including CEO mandates and the sale of a technology venture to Shell Technology Ventures. She holds the ICD.D designation and chairs governance committees at the Institute of Corporate Directors and Holland College, ensuring Crestline's deal decisions carry real discipline and accountability.
Crestline is also advised by a board including a former CEO of a national facility services company, a CPA-credentialed financial advisor, and a CFA-credentialed capital advisor, introduced directly to owners as conversations progress.
