JEFF SHIRING

Founder & Managing Partner

Jeff is the Founder and Managing Partner of Whitecap Enterprises, a private asset management company. He started his career in finance and, prior to Whitecap Enterprises, had 30 years of executive experience implementing successful roll-up and turnaround strategies in numerous industries including equipment rentals, waste management, and health care for both public companies and private equity groups.

His experience includes executive roles at a private equity backed, fully integrated waste management company located in the Mid-Atlantic, where he helped guide the company to a successful exit, growing the company from $12M to $50M in revenue while EBITDA grew from $2.5M to $10M. He also served as Chairman of a family entertainment center company which grew from 3 to 30 locations over five years, funded largely by an investment of $80M from a leading private equity firm.

The Power Group is a platform created by Whitecap to capitalize on opportunities in the truck accessory and equipment rental industries. Specific to equipment rental, Jeff served in a financial leadership role within the Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation where he oversaw $500 million of revenue and $1B in fleet. Jeff currently serves as the Chairman of the Board for the Power Group and Impact Wrap.

Jeff also served as the Chairman of Insight Eyecare, Whitecap’s first investment, where he created a very special brand that focused on a patient-centric care model in a retail-driven industry. The vision and brand created significant value for employees and patients. He grew the business from 3 practices to 23 practices over 8 years. Whitecap exited the majority of its position in 2019 and provided significant returns to its shareholders.

Prior to Whitecap, he worked with numerous private equity firms. After spending numerous years working with private equity in growth and turnaround opportunities, he chose to create his own asset management company focused on strong underlying core values, finding people with passion and growth opportunities in fragmented or undervalued industries.

He has a great love and belief in family. With three children, he keeps himself busy parenting and mentoring. Be it coaching hockey or writing books, he believes our greatest legacy is the impact we can have on our children and youth. He lives by a simple motto – the truest test of our mettle is not measured in times of prosperity but in times of crisis.

He graduated from the University of Dayton with a BS in Accounting; from Lesley University with an MS in Management Science. He is a licensed CPA in the State of Virginia and is a member of the AICPA.

Barry Peck

Partner in Memoriam 

It is with profound sadness that I find myself sharing the news that my most dear friend and partner at Whitecap Enterprises, Barry Peck, has peacefully passed away. There are special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone, and Barry is one of them. This simple and powerful message captures the essence of my feelings today.

Barry was simply impactful to so many lives including mine. We had a thirty-year friendship and partnership that was largely based on shared experiences with family and work, humor and storytelling. Barry had a knack of telling a story with such physical humor and animation that it was hard not to laugh. I will miss that so much.

Barry had a great love of music and regularly would send emails with links to some of his favorites. It was always with enthusiasm and interest that I would crack open the emails not knowing what genre and artist would appear. He loved his guitars and strumming away. I have two guitars both gifted by Barry and he was helping me learn to play and I will continue to do so in his honor. I will miss that so much.

He loved to run and has probably run more miles in one year that I could run in my lifetime. He ran before Forest Gump was a hit, but he ran like Forest and would have happily run coast to coast.

To Pam and the Boys.

Barry had been supported over the past twenty-five years by a loving, kind, supportive, patient, spirited partner, Pam. Pam, you are truly amazing. He is survived by his three sons and it is so interesting from the perspective of a friend to see how very different you all are and yet how connected to Barry you could be at times. Whether through your creative interests, focus and intensity, discontentment, humor, or an adventurous streak, I could see different aspects of your Dad in each of you.

I think it is important to share that he loved and adored you all. Pam, he was beyond grateful for your love and support throughout his life and loved you very much. Boys, he loved you so much for who you are and was so proud of you.

To Barry, I miss you terribly. Your lessons, friendship and humor will stay with me throughout my life and through the lives you have impacted. This chapter has ended but there are many more to write that will be inspired by you.

Sincerely

Jeff Shiring
