Q&A
What attracted you to TSG?
I admired TSG's outstanding track record of investing in category-leading consumer brands, many of which I had experienced firsthand, and its unique approach to partnership, providing its partner companies with thoughtful support far beyond its initial investment. TSG's long history of working hand-in-hand with talented entrepreneurs to bring their visions to life resonated with me, and it was evident that TSG's commitment to and respect for its partners have been at the core of the firm's success.
What brings you the most joy in your job?
It has been a pleasure to surround myself with likeminded people who are equally as passionate about consumer brands and the teams behind them. The TSG team is an incredibly talented, driven group of people who share the same collective goal - helping our partner companies build iconic brands. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a team of diverse backgrounds that encourages professionals of all levels of seniority to voice their opinions in an effort to drive forward the firm's collective thinking.
What attracted you to the business of brand building?
I love discovering new brands and learning the stories behind them and have so much admiration for brand founders who have transformed their once ideas into a reality. At the core of a brand is its relationship with consumers, and I find it very rewarding to be a part of the development and evolution of that relationship over time.
