Operators who have built, bought, and run these businesses.

Jeff applies financial acumen and business development strategy to identify new revenue streams, build organizational capability, and accelerate revenue and margin. He has extensive experience divesting non-core assets, mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, and restructurings.

In 2001 he founded Cabinetry Showcase, a wholesale cabinetry distributorship serving Colorado homebuilders, and later Showcase Remodeling; both were sold in 2011. He then served as COO of Primera before becoming owner-partner and CEO of Kitchen Art in South Florida, which he led to become an industry trailblazer before selling it to Ferguson Enterprises in 2019.

At Ferguson he served as Corporate Director of Business Development for the $250 million Ferguson Cabinetry Business Group, acquiring and integrating several large kitchen and bath distributors, building a showroom and production builder business model, and leading a companywide NetSuite ERP rollout. Today he owns 11Eleven Consulting, which brings AI-driven business solutions to the industry, and serves on several boards including the KBx Advisory Board.

David pairs institutional-grade financial discipline with hands-on operational leadership. He is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Constellation Capital Group, an advisory platform focused on deal sourcing, capital raising, and buy-side advisory for middle-market private equity firms, family offices, and strategic acquirers, and through his family office he acquires, owns, and operates businesses directly — giving him a rare vantage point on both sides of the table.

As an operator of a multi-location cabinetry, countertop, and installation platform, David executed a full-scale turnaround that drove more than $4.5 million in cash flow improvement, implemented builder-channel pricing systems, and secured national homebuilder accounts — restoring profitability and positioning the company for its 2023 exit to a private equity group. He was named a Woodworking Network 40 Under 40 honoree in 2021.

Before stepping into ownership, David spent more than a decade in investment banking at Corner Capital Partners, Auspex Capital, and Vaughan Capital Advisors, and has been involved in more than $3.0 billion of completed M&A and capital markets transactions. He holds an MBA in Finance from the USC Marshall School of Business and a B.A. in Psychology from California State University Channel Islands.

With an educational background in interior design and deep hands-on expertise, Muriel rose from kitchen designer and project manager to Vice President of Operations at Kitchen Art, where she took the company’s revenue from $28 million to $70 million in just five years under her direct leadership.

She played a pivotal role in the sale of Kitchen Art to Ferguson Enterprises in 2019 and led the integration, including a complete facility relocation, followed by the integration of two additional kitchen and bath companies in Colorado and Georgia. As Vice President of Operations for the Ferguson Cabinetry Business Group, she oversaw six cabinetry divisions in three states with revenues exceeding $250 million and spearheaded the NetSuite ERP implementation.

Muriel is a partner at 11Eleven Consulting and co-founder of ELEV8 Kitchen and Bath. She has served on the KBx Advisory Board and NextGen board and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.

Raised in an entrepreneurial family with a general contractor father, Monica oversees the full project lifecycle — sales and product selection, estimating, purchasing, installation, billing, and marketing — with hands-on experience across flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and remodeling.

Before entrepreneurship she built a corporate career with Cisco Systems, MUFG Union Bank, Horizon Media, Game Show Network, The Madison Square Garden Company, and Creative Artists Agency, focused on community, brand, and digital strategy.

She holds an MBA in General Management from Pepperdine University, where she was a Net Impact Fellow, and degrees in Accounting and Television Production.

David began as an apprentice in his family’s cabinet installation business and became a finished carpenter specializing in framed and frameless cabinetry. As owner and operator of Kameleon Creative Group, he grew the company to five installation crews and added a custom fabrication operation, gaining experience across design, estimating, procurement, manufacturing, and sales.

In 2016 he joined Kitchen Art in Southwest Florida, was promoted to Branch Manager within a year, and grew the Fort Myers branch from a startup to more than $12 million in annual revenue. He was later appointed President of Kitchen Art, directing company-wide operations for a business with revenues approaching $60 million.

Today David is a founding partner of Motivo Advisory Group, helping cabinet manufacturers, dealers, and remodelers improve performance and profitability, and co-founder of Elev8 Kitchen and Bath.
