Atlanta, GA – Creative Service Partners ("Creative"), a portfolio company of Trivest Partners, is pleased to announce the promotion of Dean Fulton to the role of Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Dean's appointment comes as part of the rapid growth of Creative Service Partners and the expansion of its family of brands.
Dean joined Creative in January 2023 as Chief Operating Officer ("COO") to help execute the company's growth in residential services. A 30+ year veteran of the home service industry, Dean has a proven track record of success and a passion for helping team members become the best versions of themselves. He characterizes himself as a Christian, Husband, Father, Friend, and Leader.
Dean leans on a wealth of experience as he assumes the role of Chief Executive Officer. In the early 90's, he helped start and build Service Experts for 20 years. As COO and VP of Sales and Marketing, he helped build Hiller Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling into one of the largest privately held home service businesses in the country. Dean has now helped build multiple private equity backed consolidation efforts as CEO and continues to use his operational knowledge to serve the industry at all levels.
