Stonehill is led by Doug Pace, a top systems thinking expert in private equity and enterprise transformation. Doug is known for seeing how strategy, operations, technology, capital, and people interact as a single system—and for using that insight to unlock value others miss. Stonehill applies this systems view to help investors and management teams build companies that perform better, scale faster, and sustain advantage.

Doug Pace brings systems thinking into the moments that matter most: deal underwriting, integration, and value creation. Instead of optimizing individual functions in isolation, he designs operating models where growth, efficiency, and execution reinforce one another, creating compounding returns across the life of an investment.
