Acquirable Podcast Ep. 019 - Ryan Boyle | President | BOB Search

🎙 When Founders Let Go What happens after a founder sells — when the business can no longer run through one person? In this episode of the Acquirable Podcast, we sit down with Ryan Boyle, President of BOB Search, to unpack what it really means to professionalize a founder-led company after a sale. Ryan works closely with private equity–backed businesses and sees firsthand where post-transaction transitions succeed — and where they break down. He explains why buyers quickly move away from the hub-and-spoke founder model, how leadership teams must evolve, and why financial rigor and functional accountability become non-negotiable. Most importantly, Ryan shares what founders need to prepare for emotionally and operationally once control shifts. In this episode you’ll learn: -Why post-sale professionalization often catches founders off guard -What buyers expect from CEOs and leadership teams after closing -Why CFO discipline becomes critical immediately after a deal -How letting go at the right pace protects long-term value If you’re building toward an exit — or want a company that can thrive without you at the center — this episode offers a clear lens into what comes next.
