Marauder Capital, a private investment firm focused on energy and industrial services businesses, has added Bryan Hoffman and Pedro Buhigas as operating partners. The firm says that its operating partner model is designed to provide an experienced operator perspective alongside investment teams and portfolio company leadership, with a focus on scalable execution, sound decision-making, and long-term value creation.
Hoffman brings decades of leadership experience in utility services and infrastructure businesses, and will support Marauder across sourcing, underwriting, and portfolio company development, with particular emphasis on in-basin electrification, utility interfaces, and critical infrastructure. Prior to joining Marauder, he served in the US Air Force and founded multiple utility and energy-service companies. Most recently, he founded and operated KVP Energy Services, which he successfully exited to a middle-market private equity sponsor.
Buhigas contributes operating, technology, and systems expertise across energy and industrial platforms. In his role as operating partner, he advises Marauder and select portfolio companies on operational efficiency, enterprise systems, and the application of advanced analytics and AI within established businesses. He currently serves as chief information officer of Kodiak Gas Services. His prior experience includes senior roles at Basic Energy Services, TETRA Technologies, Stallion, and Microsoft.
