Lead Dog Culture
“If you’re not the lead dog, your view never changes.”
This is a saying that Roddy McKinney, co-founder of Satellites Unlimited, uses often. To us, this means that we aim to be the Lead Dog in everything we do. We always give our best. There is a relentless pursuit of perfection and a passion for winning here at McKinney Capital. And, we achieve this through collaboration, constant learning, adaptability, and always with the highest character.
Our Values
McKinney Capital places as much emphasis on values as financial performance (and we believe the two are highly correlated). All of our team members are expected to live out a set of core values both professionally and personally.
Our Core Values are:
- We operate with honesty and integrity, always
- We are committed to our People Engine
- We wow our stakeholders (portfolio companies and investors alike)
- We are the ‘lead dog’
- We execute by doing what we say we will do
- We are flexible and adaptable
In the Community
Community involvement is a priority for the McKinney family and McKinney Capital. Our team members are involved in numerous organizations and charities, donating both their time and resources. Some of the organizations that we support include: Children’s of Alabama, Smile-a-Mile, TumTum Tree Foundation, Toys for Tots, Alabama Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham Zoo, Railroad Park, Jones Valley Teaching Farm, The Ronald McDonald House, and the Birmingham Education Foundation.
While we believe that “culture is local”, we often find that our best partners and portfolio companies are highly aligned with our culture and values system albeit in their own way.
