Leadership
Edward B. Martin
Principal Owner
At Alfred Gordon Partners, we believe that even the most mature industries hold untapped potential—if you know where to look. With over 35 years of executive leadership in manufacturing, I’ve helped middle-market businesses defy expectations, unlocking dramatic organic growth in sectors others considered stagnant.
Our success wasn’t accidental—it was built on disciplined commercial strategy, deep operational insight, and a relentless focus on profitable innovation. At Alfred Gordon, we apply that same proven approach to help your business chart a new course toward sustainable revenue and enterprise value.
Whether you're preparing for succession or repositioning a portfolio company for its next chapter, we offer more than advice—we offer a roadmap. To learn more about my background, please click the LinkedIn icon below.
Our Approach
At Alfred Gordon Partners, our deep experience across diverse manufacturing sectors gives us a broad lens on commercial challenges. We recognize that no two situations are alike—but in nearly every case, the right solution blends people, process, and product.
People: Middle market businesses that overperform the market have an empowering people-centric culture. Attracting and retaining strong team members is essential in middle and lower middle-market manufacturing. Our approach keeps talent development front and center—because without the right people, growth stalls.
Process: Many businesses in this space scale with minimal process or technology infrastructure. The challenge? What got you here won’t build the future. We help implement logical, effective, scalable systems and tools—without losing the entrepreneurial spirit that built your success
Product: Is your new product pipeline built for growth? Smaller teams often struggle with rigid Fortune 500-style development frameworks that slow speed to market. We bring structured, right-sized approaches that accelerate innovation and drive results.
