NEW YORK & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
FTV Capital, a sector-focused growth equity investor in innovative enterprise technology and services, financial services, and payments and transaction processing companies, today announced the promotions of Allison Walker, Mike Vostrizansky and Andy Fleischman to partner. The news comes as FTV Capital celebrates 25 years of leadership in growth equity and marks a sustained period of growth and expansion, including generating over $3.6 billion in realizations and deploying $2.9 billion into new and follow-on investments over the last five years.
“We are thrilled to recognize three exceptional individuals as we elevate them to our partnership – they have each driven significant impact in their respective roles,“ said Brad Bernstein, managing partner at FTV Capital. “As our first chief talent officer, Ali has strengthened and expanded our own talent and recruiting efforts, while also supporting FTV portfolio companies with strategic talent initiatives that are vital to accelerating their growth. Mike has consistently proven his ability to identify innovative, high-growth companies and develop trusted relationships with management teams across the financial services landscape, while deepening FTV’s expertise and network specifically across the asset management, specialty finance and insurance sectors. And, Andy has played an integral role overseeing all of our legal and regulatory matters, serving as a strategic business advisor across the firm.”
As chief talent officer, Walker leads FTV’s recruitment and internal talent initiatives, in addition to establishing the talent center of excellence for portfolio companies through FTV Propel®. Since joining FTV in 2019, she has helped guide the firm’s growth of professionals by 60 percent and instituted programs and processes to foster FTV’s best-in-class employee experience and culture, including leading the firm’s approach to diversity, equity and inclusion. Previously, Walker was responsible for all human capital initiatives at TCV. She also held executive talent positions at several alternative investment firms and was a partner at Heidrick & Struggles and Korn/Ferry International.
Since joining FTV six years ago as an investor on the financial services and payments team, Vostrizansky has invested in payments, asset management, specialty finance and a range of insurance businesses, with notable investments and board seats including Embroker, ManyPets, Patra, Sunlight Financial and Tidal Financial Group. He is also a board observer at Tango Card. Prior to FTV, Vostrizansky was a principal at Flexpoint Ford and Pine Brook Road Partners, where he focused on sourcing, evaluating, executing and managing investments across the financial services industry.
As general counsel, Fleischman has worked on a wide variety of portfolio company transactions and expanded his scope with management company initiatives, including compliance and fundraising. Prior to joining FTV in 2021, Fleischman was a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, where he was lead attorney on a variety of domestic and international transactions, including numerous FTV deals as outside counsel.
FTV also promoted Max Penn to vice president on the enterprise technology and services team and Nia Hall to associate on the strategic business development team.
“As we commemorate our 25th anniversary this year, I couldn’t be prouder of the caliber of talent at FTV and our team’s relentless commitment to discipline and excellence,” said Bernstein. “Looking ahead to the next 25 years, we are more enthusiastic than ever to power growth together with our investors, portfolio company management teams, and valued ecosystem partners. We carry forward our time-tested strategy: to leverage our deep domain expertise, expansive Global Partner Network® and a customized approach to drive transformative growth for entrepreneurs and exceptional outcomes for all of our stakeholders.”
Demonstrating the firm’s strong momentum, in the last year FTV closed its seventh and largest fund, FTV VII, oversubscribed at its hard cap of $2.3 billion in limited partner commitments. Additionally, the firm made significant investments in FTV Propel, its robust value creation platform for portfolio companies, with key new hires including a chief financial advisor, strategic revenue operations advisor and two full-time executive recruiters. FTV deployed a record $970 million in 11 new investments across major themes such as digitization of financial services, embedded payments, next-gen technology services, tech-enabled procurement, and e-commerce/content discovery.
