Curiosity
Taking great interest in the people, products, places, and possibilities of our industry; asking deeper questions and seeking richer answers; being so enthusiastic about our work that the phrase "bright eyed and bushy tailed" would be entirely accurate
Honesty
Speaking truthfully; being trustworthy; saying “I don’t know, but I’ll find out” when you don’t have the answer
Family
Putting yours first; showing everyone with whom you work warmth and kindness
Alchemy
Fusing and balancing left and right brain thinking to our portfolio companies' challenges and opportunities; applying creativity and innovation rooted in analytical discipline to our recommendations; giving equal appreciation to the logical and the magical aspects of various consumer disciplines
Our Values
Integrity
Treating colleagues, partners and portfolio companies with respect; taking the high road (even if it's lonely up there); doing the right thing
Support
with all our hearts and knowledge, without losing sight of the realities on the ground
Step Back
be thoughtful and take a wide view, because what a portfolio company identifies as the fundamental problem is quite often a symptom of an altogether different problem
