Founder & Managing Partner | Neptune Operating Partners
Travis Howard is the Founder and Managing Partner of Neptune Operating Partners, where he works with healthcare founders, executives, and investors navigating growth, operational complexity, and scale.
His executive experience spans growth strategy, business development, operational transformation, revenue strategy, de novo expansion, M&A integration, and the development of scalable operating infrastructure. Travis has worked inside growing healthcare organizations where strategy had to translate into execution—aligning teams, building accountability, identifying growth opportunities, and creating the systems needed to support expansion.
Through Neptune, he brings that operator’s perspective to organizations that need experienced executive leadership without necessarily adding another full-time C-suite position. His approach combines strategic advisory with hands-on execution, helping leadership teams prioritize opportunities, solve growth constraints, and build stronger organizations.
Travis earned his MBA from the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College and his BBA from Florida Atlantic University.
