Bryan Landry

As an LVC Operating Partner, Bryan helps the team source, evaluate, and execute new opportunities in the industrial services market. Bryan leverages his four decades of experience as a founder, operator, and senior executive serving the world’s largest energy, petrochemical, and industrial players to support LVC’s industrial services activities with a focus on the electrical and instrumentation, piping and mechanical contracting, and specialty services markets. Post-closing, he works closely with management teams of our industrial services portfolio companies to drive value creation. In addition to his role at LVC, Bryan is a board member of UP Professional Solutions, a professional staffing business focused on the petrochemical sector.

Bryan started his career with SECO Industries, an electrical and instrumentation (E&I) services provider based in Louisiana. He managed a number of divisions at SECO before becoming President in 1996. In 2002, Bryan founded Ardent Services, a national E&I business focused on the heavy industrial markets. Ardent was an LVC portfolio company until 2008 when it was successfully sold to Cadent Energy Partners. Bryan continued to lead Ardent as the President & Chief Executive Officer through its next phase of growth until after the company was sold to EMCOR Group in 2015. Under his leadership, Ardent had grown to become one of the nation’s largest E&I companies serving the U.S. industrial and petrochemical industry with over 2,400 employees. Bryan graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.

Bryan grew up in the marshes of South Louisiana and has fished the marshes since he began to walk. As of late, he has transitioned from inshore fishing to offshore fishing and spends much of his time between 15 and 60 miles out off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. When the cold weather moves in and fishing slows down, Bryan can be found on the ski slopes in Utah, Colorado, Oregon, and Montana. Bryan also enjoys photography, cinematography, and cooking.
