About Us

Cordova, Smart & Williams, LLC, is a New York based private equity investment firm specializing in buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth capital financings. CSW seeks to invest in fundamentally sound, middle market companies with revenues between $25 million and $350 million, as well as "corporate orphans" that are no longer a strategic fit with their parent organizations.

CSW through its fund, Williams Capital Partners, LP, believes that creating win-win partnerships with management is fundamental to long-term success. We leverage our general partners' years of relevant operating experience to connect with management and cultivate relationships based upon a shared strategic vision, an executable plan of action, and mutual respect. Our operating experience spans organizational turnarounds, family-owned businesses, large and small consumer packaged goods companies, private-label and branded packaged goods operations, new product development, domestic and international marketing, and brand management.

Our network of industry relationships is extensive and diverse, both at the board level and at the operational level. We bring our network into play wherever it can help our portfolio company partners—from attractive financing opportunities to joint ventures and industry-specific strategic alliances.
