Charlie loves building businesses and has spent his career at the intersection of middle market management, growth, and entrepreneurship.
Before founding DaySpring, Charlie was Vice President, Head of Marketing and Corporate Development for a private specialty chemical company (INOLEX) in the midst of a significant growth phase. At INOLEX, he was responsible for a variety of key strategic initiatives including the establishing of a new flagship manufacturing facility and the buildout of the company’s marketing function.
Before INOLEX, Charlie was Director of Corporate Development for a private equity-backed, renewable energy startup (Enviva), where he led cross-functional teams in the acquisition and development of new manufacturing and port facilities and supported raising private capital and preparing for an IPO.
Charlie began his career at BB&T Capital Markets, where he was an Analyst in the Investment Banking Division.

“Charlie is an exceptional individual capable of seamlessly integrating himself into an organization and acting as a ‘change agent’ relentlessly pursuing economic growth and opportunity. Charlie can add value in any situation, meeting, or context, and we are grateful for his many contributions at INOLEX and look forward to a long relationship with him in his entrepreneurial pursuits.”
