WHO WE ARE

Early in his career, Truck 9 Founder Chris LeRoy worked for a small local contractor. The contractor had kept one of its trucks in service for nearly a half-century, passing it down through generations of employees. The truck came to be more than just a piece of equipment—it became a symbol of grit, durability, and perseverance. It was Truck 9.

We work to embody these same qualities every day. Our name reminds us that the best way to get where we want to go is to remember where we’ve been, and to bring determination, integrity, and reliability to every endeavor.

At Truck 9, we believe it is vital to let management run and drive their own businesses, and we bring a collaborative, team-oriented approach to every relationship.

Chris brings over a decade of operational, strategic, and business development experience to the team. A native of Portland, Maine, he began his career working in businesses that were owned by multi-generational families, in the fields of construction, service, and energy management. He left the small business world to earn his MBA and accelerate his learning, always with the intent of returning to work with the founder and family-owned businesses he loves.

Prior to founding Truck 9 Partners, Chris worked in the Boston Consulting Group’s private equity practice, where he advised PE firms acquisitions ranging in value from $100M to over $1B, working closely with clients to identify and execute opportunities for growth and value creation. He loves applying the learnings from his prior experience to smaller firms looking to continue and expand their great legacies.

Chris earned his B.A. from Harvard College and his M.B.A. from MIT Sloan. He lives in Boston with his wife, Ashley, and their son and daughter, Dec and Sully. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with family, home improvement, sports, and playing the piano.

Kevin has worked with founder/family-owned businesses as an investor for his entire career. Prior to joining Truck 9, he worked at two Massachusetts-based private equity funds where he focused on helping owners grow their companies organically and through acquisition.

Immediately prior to Truck 9, Kevin spent a decade with Century Equity Partners in Boston with a stop at MIT Sloan for business school. He looks forward to continuing to work with small business owners as they decide “what’s next” for them, their companies and their employees.

Kevin earned his BA from Dartmouth College and his MBA from MIT Sloan. He lives in Melrose, MA with his wife Meg and their two boys, Tee and Zak. Outside of the office, Kevin enjoys chasing the kids around with Meg, playing pick-up hockey and trying to find level ground for his backyard ice rink.

Prior to joining Truck 9, Tom spent nearly a decade in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Deals practice, advising private equity and corporate clients on buy and sell-side transactions ranging in value from $20M to $4B.

At PwC, Tom specialized in financial diligence, helping clients understand key drivers of business trends, profitability, and other value-creating tools to inform their strategies. At Truck 9, he is excited to support the growth of family and owner-operated businesses.

Tom earned his B.S. from Bentley University and is a licensed certified public accountant in Massachusetts and Maine. Outside of work, he enjoys boating, skiing, and spending time with family and friends.
