Pathfinder Transitions Leadership | Grand Rapids News

Sleeping Giant Capital just swooped in to buy stakes in both Pathfinder Systems and Pathfinder Manufacturing, setting the stage for a smooth leadership transition as Travis Hilldore steps into the CEO role — taking over from his father Larry, who founded the company in 1998. Travis, long embedded in the business since 2005 and most recently leading marketing and sales, will stay on as a shareholder while preserving the company’s culture and driving future growth. Larry emphasized finding the right successor was crucial, and Doug Lepisto of Sleeping Giant Capital called it proof their model works for family businesses wanting to pass the torch without losing momentum. With Pathfinder Systems focused on concrete equipment design and installation, and its warehousing arm keeping North American customers running, this move is all about building on a strong legacy.
