Road to 50x: Evergreen adds TransDigm Co-COO, Patrick Murphy, to it’s advisory board

A commitment to building enduring businesses sits at the core of Evergreen’s ethos. A viewpoint that is rooted in long-term thinking, decentralized operations and the belief that durable growth is created through empowered leadership, inverse to typical Private Equity. Patrick Murphy has adopted and breathed the same ethos for over a decade at TransDigm. Evergreen is thrilled to welcome Patrick on to his first advisory board and to bring his track record of deep operational expertise to our businesses. This partnership is an exciting endorsement of the growth that Evergreen will continue to build upon.

About Patrick and Why he Chose Evergreen

Patrick Murphy is the Co-Chief Operating Officer at TransDigm, a ~$70B market-cap aerospace components company and one of the most profitable and operationally disciplined businesses in the aerospace sector.

TransDigm generates around $9B in annual revenue and is deeply respected for their industry leading margins and consistent growth. Since going public, TransDigm has generated 25%+ annual total shareholder returns over the past 15 years, driven by its disciplined acquisitions, decentralized operating model and unparalleled value creation playbook. Nick Howley, Founder and Executive Chairman of TransDigm explores the foundations that TransDigm set to achieve these remarkable results on Will Thorndike’s, an Evergreen Board Member, podcast 50x.

“Evergreen is redefining what it means to be a buyer in the technology services market, through their commitment to empowering leaders and driving sustainable growth over the long term.  I’m excited to bring my experience in leading decentralized, high-growth organizations to provide strategic guidance as the team navigates rapid growth with precision and purpose.” Said Patrick Murphy

Patrick was promoted to Co-COO in August 2025 following an 11-year tenure in leadership at TransDigm. This included six years as Executive Vice President overseeing a portfolio of subsidiaries and five years as President of HarcoSemco. Earlier in his career, he led various industrial and technology businesses at Danaher.

Establishing a Market Leading Value Creation Playbook at Evergreen

As an advisor, Patrick will not join Evergreen’s day-to-day operations but lend his perspective to advise our leaders on further bolstering our value creation playbook and scaling our decentralized operating model. Jeff Totten, Evergreen CEO, remarks “My Co-Founder, Ramsey and I have admired TransDigm as a leading decentralized serial acquirer since our early days of building Evergreen. TransDigm has a simple and effective playbook for value creation that we intend to build upon at Evergreen. We also admire how TransDigm has promoted decentralization as a large, publicly-traded company. From our first meeting with Patrick, we knew that he is someone who we both look up to and can learn from. We are privileged to have him in our corner.”
