“I take pride in being a key thought partner and friend to my management teams. We take our word and our reputation very seriously at PSG – we say what we are going to do and do as we say. We want to work with founders and executive teams who maintain both high performance as well as high integrity, and we hold ourselves to the same standard. I’m very fortunate to be a part of PSG and have the opportunity to work with world-class teams across our portfolio.” – Matthew Stone
“At PSG, I am fortunate to work alongside world-class management teams disrupting different areas of the economy with technology. Our management-friendly approach aims to support and enhance entrepreneurs’ visions with access to resources across PSG. Given our focus on software, I’m able to leverage pattern recognition across companies to serve as a guide to entrepreneurs and management teams through scenarios they’re encountering for the first time in their journey, and arm them with insights garnered from relevant past experiences. I’m proud to be part of PSG and, even more so, proud of the high-quality businesses our team of talented entrepreneurs have built and continue to grow.” – John Marquis
“At PSG, our approach to working with our portfolio companies is to always be a helpful, trusted partner. As a firm, we do not believe that a one-size-fits-all (or fits most) formula works. We like to take a pull not push approach while working with our portfolio companies, meaning that PSG is always there when they need resources or counsel, never showing up to tell entrepreneurs and management teams how to run the business that they have built. It is important to keep in mind that we, as investors, are there to be a partner and a resource, but PSG’s entrepreneurs are the ones who are doing the really hard work and deserve the credit.” – Bill Skarinka
“At PSG, we believe the key to successful investments is a strong working relationship with company leadership. I consider myself a partner and resource to portfolio company management teams and, whenever possible, leverage experiences and perspectives I’ve gained to help management accomplish objectives and overcome challenges. I am grateful to work for an organization that emphasizes the value of partnerships, as it has given me the opportunity to witness and work alongside high-caliber, talented entrepreneurs as they scale their businesses.” – Chris Andrews
