Heart To Beat Forms Strategic Partnership to Expand Life-Safety Services Nationwide

Heart To Beat, a leading life-safety partner to organizations nationwide, announced a strategic partnership with three business leaders who have joined Founder and CEO Scott Kuhlman as owners and operators of the business. Mike Britton, John Ryan, and Dave Stefanski have become part of the expanded ownership group, strengthening operations and broadening the company's reach while reinforcing its mission to protect workplaces and communities.

The partnership represents a significant step forward for the company's growth trajectory. Together, the leadership team plans to expand Heart To Beat's reach to more organizations throughout the Mid-Atlantic and nationwide by strengthening its core safety management platform, accelerating organic growth, and pursuing acquisitions of complementary life-safety businesses. This strategic move positions the company for substantial expansion while maintaining its core values and commitment to customer service.

Scott Kuhlman emphasized that this partnership represents continuity rather than change in the company's direction. This partnership is not a change in who we are. It's an exciting step forward to get us to the next level, said Kuhlman. With added expertise and resources, we'll accelerate growth while maintaining the same values, leadership, and dedication to our customers. The company's commitment to its foundational principles remains unchanged despite the expanded leadership structure.

Heart To Beat provides comprehensive life-safety solutions that help organizations prepare for and respond to emergencies through services including AED management, CPR/First Aid training, and workplace safety consulting. The company employs a growing team of certified professionals serving a blue-chip client base that includes Under Armour, Amtrak, the Washington Commanders, the University of Maryland, Albertsons, JLL, and Mission BBQ. This diverse client portfolio demonstrates the company's ability to serve organizations across multiple sectors and scales.

The partnership combines Kuhlman's deep industry expertise with Britton, Ryan, and Stefanski's background in managing and scaling companies. The three business leaders founded Sisu Partners in 2024 to acquire and operate exceptional companies with strong fundamentals and meaningful missions. They identified Heart To Beat as an ideal candidate that aligned with their investment criteria and operational philosophy. Drawing on extensive experience in growth strategy, operations, and acquisitions, the partners will bring a hands-on approach to expand Heart To Beat's mission and market presence.

Mike Britton expressed enthusiasm about the partnership's potential, noting the company's strong foundation and industry reputation. We were drawn to Heart To Beat because of its people, culture, and mission, said Britton. Scott has built a strong foundation and has an outstanding reputation in the industry. We're eager to build on that success and further establish Heart To Beat as the premier safety partner for organizations across the country. This endorsement from experienced business operators signals confidence in the company's existing operations and future potential.

The strategic partnership has significant implications for workplace safety across multiple industries. As Heart To Beat expands its services and geographic reach, more organizations will have access to professional life-safety training and emergency preparedness resources. This expansion could lead to improved safety outcomes in workplaces, educational institutions, and public venues nationwide. The company's growth strategy, which includes both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, positions it to become an even more influential player in the life-safety industry.
