“Since our founding, we’ve been focused on creating valuable partnerships for our investment team and our portfolio companies,” said Karen Derr Gilbert, partner at FTV Capital. “Our Board advisors share unique market insights that growing companies can leverage into market leading opportunities. The industry leaders joining the Strategic Advisory Board will not only be an invaluable resource for FTV and our portfolio companies, but will also be able to engage with innovative companies in our portfolio, exchange ideas with industry peers and leverage FTV’s domain expertise as an investor in high-growth companies for nearly 25 years.”

“Our Strategic Advisory Board has been at the nexus of how we approach our entire process, from investment theme development to sourcing and closing deals to adding meaningful value post-investment,” said Marija Periša Kegel, principal of strategic business development at FTV Capital. “We aim to reciprocate this and offer our advisors, and their enterprises, our candid views on technological innovation through one-on-one dialogues, C-suite briefings and larger gatherings focused on specific themes. Our goal is to nurture an open exchange of perspectives around the needs, challenges and opportunities facing large global enterprises.” 

The Strategic Advisory Board, established in 1999 and comprised of 45 advisors, is the core of FTV’s Global Partner Network®, which includes over 500 executives from more than 150 of the world’s leading financial services institutions and large enterprises.

The Board also recently convened for its fall meeting at FTV’s Annual Partner Conference, where FTV facilitated over 220 meetings between portfolio companies and executives in its Global Partner Network. 

“I’m excited to join FTV’s Strategic Advisory Board and partner with a foremost growth equity firm,” said Jared Wolff, President & CEO of Banc of California. “FTV’s differentiated model gives us access to promising upstarts across the enterprise technology, software and fintech landscape, which can be game-changing for our corporate growth initiatives. Being part of the Board gives me a chance to participate in meaningful conversations surrounding the innovation landscape, and I look forward to working with other leaders in a mutually beneficial way.”

“I’m honored to be joining FTV’s Strategic Advisory Board alongside other industry innovation leaders,” said Rob Perry, Global Head of Innovation Enablement at Citi. “I look forward to the opportunities this symbiotic relationship provides – particularly the increased access to some of the best minds and companies in the enterprise technology landscape.”
