At Ascend, our culture of excellence, dedication and the highest standard of integrity is most evident in the individuals who comprise our team. We have built a team of investment and administrative professionals with a history of working together, a shared approach to identifying and managing investments and a strong sense of teamwork and values that contribute to our culture of trust, professional excellence and partnership.

Our investment team members represent more than 60 years of financial expertise, including private equity, strategic advisory and capital raising transactions in a variety of industries such as education, enterprise software, business services, network appliances, storage, media and consumer.

We apply our expertise as we work alongside our companies to take their enterprises to new heights. As a team, we measure our success not simply by checking in on our companies as they hit milestones and plateaus, but on how well we are able to assist in the climb along the way.
