RJ Gentile is a Vice President at Providence Strategic Growth (PSG), a growth equity firm that has raised over $10 billion in capital and partners with middle-market software and tech-enabled service companies. We dive into RJ’s transition from private equity to growth equity and discuss his time at Summit Partners, one of the earliest entrants into the growth equity space. RJ then discusses PSG’s approach to sourcing and making investments compared to other middle market growth equity firms and talks about the end markets he focuses on. We wrap up with a conversation on career advice for progressing as a young professional in the investment industry.
