Distinct shells carrying a filed role for this person — not every shell they have ever touched.
SEC-verified vehicles of the same sponsor, predating these roles and carrying none of them. The badge counts them; the figure beside this one does not.
Mergers closed across all 3 — these vehicles and the franchise's earlier ones together.
Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 3.
No closed vehicle here has both a stored price and a filed trust value to score it against.

Bryan Mikula is a manufacturing executive and independent director currently serving on the Board of Directors of NewHold Investment Corp. IV (NASDAQ: NHIV), a blank check company focused on identifying and combining with growing industrial and business services companies. NewHold Investment Corp. IV priced its $175 million IPO in April 2026, with units trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol NHIVU. Mikula was appointed to the board at the time of the IPO and filed his initial statement of beneficial ownership of securities (Form 3) with the SEC on April 15, 2026. He also serves on the Advisory Board of NewHold Investment Corp. III, the predecessor SPAC vehicle in the NewHold family, indicating an ongoing relationship with the NewHold platform and its management team, which is led by Chairman Thomas J. Sullivan, Vice Chairman Phil Horlock, and CEO Kevin Charlton.
Beyond his SPAC governance roles, Mikula is a seasoned manufacturing and operational excellence executive based in the Greater Pittsburgh Region. He has served as Chief Operating Officer at Cutting Edge Machining & Automation and has held prior roles at F&S Tool, Inc. and XPER, Inc. His professional credentials include an MBA and a LMAC (Lean Manufacturing) certification, and his LinkedIn profile describes him as a self-directed and driven manufacturing executive with comprehensive accomplishments in leading operational excellence, continuous improvement, and value stream optimization. He holds a Master of Business Administration from a university referenced in his RocketReach profile. His career reflects deep expertise in lean manufacturing principles, production operations, and industrial process improvement, which aligns with NewHold's stated focus on industrial technology and business services transactions.
Mikula's involvement with the NewHold SPAC platform places him alongside a board and management team with deep SPAC and industrial technology transaction experience. At NewHold Investment Corp. IV, his fellow board members include Charlie Baynes-Reid, Brian Mathis, Scott Scharfman, Suzy Taherian, and Matt Yerbic, with the broader advisory board featuring figures such as Neil Glat, Mark Habner, Kent Savage, and others. His SEC filing history under CIK 0002130179 spans from 2011 to 2026, suggesting a longer-standing presence in regulatory and corporate governance contexts. While no completed business combination has yet been announced for NewHold Investment Corp. IV as of mid-2026, Mikula's combination of hands-on manufacturing leadership and SPAC board experience positions him as a relevant voice in evaluating industrial-sector acquisition targets for the vehicle.
This record carries no SEC CIK. The name was read out of filing prose, so each role above is true of the filing it cites — but two people who share a name would share this page, and we cannot tell you that they do not. That is why the network below the career is withheld here: a recurrence needs an identity, and a name is not one.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
