Through long-term relationships with companies, management teams, developers, and government agencies, Jacmel delivers flexible capital, operational insights, and a strong impact framework.

Jacmel executes a focused and proven investment strategy across North America, driven by the expertise of its cycle-tested team. The firm operates through two primary platforms: Private Equity and Infrastructure. The Private Equity platform invests primarily in asset-light, family-owned business services companies that operate in fragmented industries, focusing on companies with over $20 million in revenue and $5 million in EBITDA. The Infrastructure platform exclusively targets co-investment opportunities alongside top-tier financial and strategic partners, with diversified investment structures and flexible capital, including public-private partnership (P3) transactions. This platform focuses on critical infrastructure projects in sectors such as transportation, energy, social, and digital, with deal sizes ranging from $50 million to $100 million.

In October 2025, Jacmel Partners announced that Shaquille O'Neal joined as a founding partner of Jacmel Infrastructure, marking his official foray into the infrastructure sector. This partnership aims to invest in large-scale, private infrastructure transactions that enhance and make a meaningful difference in local communities. Jacmel's team of investment professionals has an average of 25 years of experience as asset owners, operators, developers, and advisors across private markets, positioning the firm as a strategic partner of choice in the rapidly expanding infrastructure sector.

Jacmel's commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident in its leadership and investment strategies. The firm actively seeks to partner with companies and projects that reflect the diverse backgrounds of local communities, aiming to make a positive impact on society through its investments. By focusing on both private equity and infrastructure, Jacmel Partners continues to strengthen the nation's infrastructure while fostering economic growth and community development.
