Josh Young
Deal Sourcing & Growth Architect
Josh Young is a visionary entrepreneur and deal‑maker with more than 20 years of experience transforming under‑served market niches into high‑growth platforms. After scaling ADM’s flavor division from $40 million to $280 million in revenue—holding 22 cross‑functional roles along the way—he cofounded and built multiple ventures, including RJ & Associates (hitting $16 million in sales in its first year) and Tastes Natural, ranked among the fastest‑growing businesses in New England and the United States. Josh’s hallmark is his ability to spot untapped potential, structure win‑win partnerships, and provide hands‑on, data‑driven guidance that accelerates scale while mitigating risk. Today, as co‑founder of Cairn Young Legacy Partners, he channels that same “opportunity creation” genius into sourcing high‑impact investments, guiding portfolio companies, and stewarding multi‑generational wealth with integrity and purpose.
