Josh Hibbert is an operator-minded deal advisor who helps founder-led trade and service business owners understand, protect, and maximize the value they’ve built—so when the time is right, they can exit on strong terms. His perspective is rooted in blue-collar reality. From grade school onward, Josh worked alongside his father in the family construction business, specializing in residential site work, tree jobs in the warmer months, and logging timber during the New York winters. He learned early what it means to earn trust, show up when it’s cold and inconvenient, and take pride in doing things the right way. As he set out to expand his horizons, Josh helped put himself through college and graduate school by joining the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA). Working on the docks unloading railcars and vessels, he learned discipline, teamwork, and the pace of environments where performance is expected and excuses are not. He remains a member of ILA Local 1570-A to this day.
After completing his studies and earning his clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Josh launched the healthcare chapter of his career and relocated to Florida. There, he moved into operating roles where he helped build, grow, and scale a boutique healthcare organization to the point of acquisition. Following the transaction, Josh stepped away from day-to-day healthcare operations to focus his work on helping other business owners realize their own exit.He understands the operator’s seat—because he’s sat in it. From moving earth with heavy iron to moving a business forward through leadership, strategic vision, and execution, Josh brings an uncommon ability to translate between the jobsite mindset and the buyer’s lens. He knows how owners think, what they care about, and how to position a company’s story, risk profile, and growth potential in a way that resonates with serious acquirers.Today, as Managing Partner of GrowPCG Transaction Advisors, Josh partners with owners to clarify goals, pressure-test options, and map the most value-maximizing path forward—whether that means preparing for a future transition or running a process now. When a transaction is the right next step, Josh serves as the bridge between buyer and seller: positioning the opportunity with credibility, managing the process with discipline, and driving toward a clean, well-negotiated outcome.
