From M&A in Africa to Enterprise Wireless Infrastructure, DC Moore of ATG

DC Moore is a mid-career searcher and the new CEO of Atlantic Technology Group, an enterprise wireless and mobility infrastructure provider benefiting from durable tailwinds tied to 5G densification, in-building connectivity needs, and rising mobile data demand.With a path that includes Georgia Tech (electrical engineering), Wharton, and time at Motorola, Lockheed Martin, and McKinsey, followed by more than a decade in Africa doing M&A and operating leadership, DC brings a fundamentally different profile to ETA than the typical post-MBA searcher.Instead of buying a simple business and replacing the owner, DC deliberately sought out complexity, kept the founder on, and structured real alignment around long-term growth.In this episode, DC discusses:Why ETA appealed to him as a way to combine acquisitions with real operating authority rather than just board-level investingRaising a traditional search as a mid-career operator and challenging some of the stereotypes around who “fits” the modelHow a failed deal process with ATG turned into a better partnership by preserving trust with the sellerStructuring meaningful rollover equity so the founder remains economically and emotionally invested in the next phaseManaging unexpected hockey-stick growth, especially working capital strain and building hiring systems before scaling too fastSend us Fan MailSupport the showFind us on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube.
