Partner-led investment practice ‐ Noosa, Australia
We hold the regulatory infrastructure to act as responsible manager or trustee on investment mandates. We build, manage, and wind down structures on behalf of investors and fund operators.
We take governance positions in deals where our involvement creates a material advantage. Board representation, investment committee roles, and co-investment arrangements.
Where a deal or capital event requires a principal-level perspective rather than a service provider, we engage on that basis. Accountable for outcomes, not just recommendations.

Founding Partner
"I've operated businesses across four continents over thirty years. What I've learned is that the difference between a good outcome and a great one is rarely the capital - it's who holds the position, and whether they're genuinely accountable for the result."
Johnny has built and backed businesses across Canada, California, Hong Kong, and Australia - from a snowboard company to app development, venture capital to fund management. He founded Goodrich Partners in 2023 to do one thing well: take a principal position alongside private investors and founders, and stay in the deal as a genuine partner.
