Profile
Rupal Patel joined Benford Capital Partners in 2022 as an Operating Partner focused on industrial technology and consumer packaged goods businesses.
Rupal brings over 15 years of experience in finance, accounting, and operations transformation for a variety of businesses, from venture-backed early-stage entities to large publicly traded companies.
Rupal’s expertise includes strategic planning and execution focused on streamlining business processes, including technology implementation, and organizational design to help businesses scale.
