Randy founded Cozzins Road Captial after retiring as President of Crane Investment Company in 2014.  During his 25 years with Crane he directed over 40 private equity transactions with outstanding results.  Crane specialized in partnering with quality businesses, providing liquidity for sellers to diversify their assets, yet still run the business that they care deeply about.  Prior to joining Crane, Randy was a Partner with Deloitte, specializing as a mergers and acquisition advisor to clients such as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Forstmann Little and Company, among other notable clients.  Cozzins intends to operate in a manner similar to the philosophy Randy employed while with Crane; one of partnership, as opposed to acquisition.  Cozzins will focus on businesses under the radar of investors like Crane.
