Value-Creation Operator
Foodservice Equipment | B2B Distribution | Sales Growth | OEM / Private Label | Profitability Improvement
Andrew Metros is a foodservice equipment and B2B distribution operator with 10+ years of experience helping lead and grow H.D. Sheldon & Co., a roughly $45 million international foodservice equipment distribution and representation business.
Andrew’s highest-value role is helping investors, family offices, independent sponsors, strategic acquirers, and business owners evaluate where operating upside exists inside a business — and then execute the plan to unlock that value.
His core value is creating sales and profitability improvement. Andrew knows how to develop new customers, get in front of decision-makers, present compelling product and business opportunities, and close profitable sales. He also has strong OEM/private-label knowledge, including how to source high-quality, lower-cost products across core foodservice equipment categories and turn them into differentiated, higher-margin sales channels.
Core Value-Creation Areas
New Business Development
Andrew knows how to source new customers, build relationships, present new opportunities, and close sales. He is not only an operator; he is a revenue creator who can help a business generate new opportunities and convert them into profitable growth.
OEM / Private-Label Product Strategy
Andrew has deep knowledge of OEM and private-label sourcing across all core foodservice equipment categories. He understands how to identify high-quality, lower-cost manufacturing partners, evaluate product-market fit, develop a strong selling value proposition, and create higher-margin proprietary product channels.
Global Labor / Cost Structure Improvement
Andrew has experience building overseas support teams that reduce operating cost while improving execution capacity, responsiveness, and scalability. This can help companies improve profitability without sacrificing customer service or internal execution quality.
Warehousing, Shipping & Logistics
Andrew understands freight, warehousing, inventory movement, international logistics, and how to quickly build warehouse programs that improve product availability, delivery speed, customer service, and scalability.
Foodservice Equipment Channel Knowledge
Andrew understands the commercial foodservice equipment channel, including manufacturers, reps, dealers, distributors, end users, pricing, credit terms, freight, documentation, product positioning, and relationship-based selling.
Ideal Partnership Opportunities
Andrew is exploring operating partnerships with groups that already have access to acquisition, platform, or growth opportunities in foodservice equipment, distribution, service, import, warehousing, or adjacent B2B equipment channels.
Potential structures include:
- Operating Partner / Value-Creation Operator
- President / CEO / General Manager of a platform business
- Commercial Growth Leader with meaningful upside participation
- Pre-deal advisor helping evaluate operating value in acquisition targets
- Post-close operator responsible for executing the value-creation plan
Value Proposition
Andrew creates enterprise value by helping businesses grow revenue, improve gross margin, reduce operating cost, strengthen logistics execution, and scale more profitably.
The ideal partner finds or has access to the opportunity. Andrew helps evaluate where the value exists and then executes the sales growth, margin expansion, cost reduction, OEM/private-label, and logistics improvements needed to create enterprise value.
