Meet Scott and Rob
Investment Acumen and Operational Excellence
Founders and managing partners Scott Mraz and Rob Reistetter studied finance and accounting together at Ithaca College and have been friends and colleagues ever since. After investment banking in New York, they reconnected at Quad-C where Scott worked, and where Rob joined after business school. Scott went on to lead Quad-C’s portfolio company NuSil Technology as President and helped build it into a global leader in specialty materials for life sciences. Scott continued to lead NuSil after it was acquired by New Mountain Capital in 2011 and later merged NuSil with Avantor as part of the largest-ever healthcare IPO in the US. Over his 14-year tenure with Quad-C, Rob helped establish the healthcare vertical and led its specialty chemicals vertical for 7 years. Together, Scott and Rob bring a unique blend of highly specialized operating and investing experience to help grow healthcare and specialty industrial companies.

Meet Our Mountain Climbers
“Rob and Scott really did their homework and invested a lot of time even before the deal was done making sure we had a solid integration plan in place. I have a tremendous amount of trust in them. They have been helpful in talking through strategies about how we’re going to grow, opportunities for acquisitions and enhancing some of our service lines, but they haven’t gotten into the minutiae of our workflows and how we staff our clinics. From the beginning it was clear that everyone’s input was equally important, and they weren’t going to impart their own vision for the company rather than the one we built. It’s a true partnership.”
“Integrity matters, and I feel like Iron Path brought that to the table. The most important thing you look for in a partner is their financial and strategic capabilities. The next thing you look for is, are these people I can work with? Are they going to try to tell me how to do my job all the time, which is different from challenging me. Scott and Rob get it. They offer suggestions, but they also listen to what I say instead of thinking they know better.”
“I was looking for a partner that had significant experience building great healthcare businesses and the operating capabilities to help scale CPI. I chose Iron Path because of the strength and depth of their team and their straightforward approach to partnership.”
Let’s build an Iron Path together.
