History

Mainstream Management, LLC was founded in 1999 by Joseph P. Patten and Jacqueline L. Gimberline. Mr. Patten and Ms. Gimberline had a vision to supply middle-market public and privately held corporations with high level, professional operational and financial solutions that previously had only been available to larger corporations.

​

Since MainStream’s initial assignment in 1999 with First Chicago Equity Capital, now J.P. Morgan Chase Company, Mr. Patten and Ms. Gimberline’s shared vision has been a reality as MainStream has seen continuous growth in revenues and profitability all the while maintaining a well defined organizational scope so as to deliver the highest quality business solutions.

​

Today, MainStream operates internationally, creating value, restoring confidence and facilitating positive cultural change for organizations in an effort to ensure a maximum return on investment for corporate executives, private equity investors, creditors and lenders and lawyers. MainStream has deep experience in the manufacturing (light & heavy), food & beverage, consumer products, and defense aerospace industries. In addition, MainStream has in-depth knowledge in the automotive, banking, capital markets, communications, financial services, freight & logistics, industrial equipment, media & entertainment, metals, real estate, and retail industries.
