Lazear Capital Partners (Lazear) is expanding its national footprint across Texas with the addition of Director Tommy Schulte, who will lead the firm’s efforts throughout Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
Texas ranks third nationally in the number of employee-owned companies, reflecting the demand for legacy-minded exit strategies. Tommy joins Dallas-based Managing Director Doug Janowski in helping business owners explore tax-advantaged exit strategies through Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs).
With a focus on the construction industry, one of the most popular sectors for employee ownership, Tommy will help business owners explore ESOPs as a strategic exit option that rewards employees and preserves company culture.
Based in Austin, Tommy brings more than a decade of experience in the construction and development space. Most recently, he served as Director of Business Development at The Beck Group, a regional commercial construction and architecture firm, with previous roles at Millis Development & Construction and the Texas A&M Foundation. A native Texan, he earned his undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and holds a Master of Public Administration from Sam Houston State University.
“Tommy understands the values that drive Texas businesses, and those values shape how owners think about their exit,” shared Lazear Partner Mike Morosky. “With so many business owners evaluating succession options, his industry background is a perfect fit to help owners unlock tax-free exits through employee ownership.”
