Episode 93 of the Private Equity Fast Pitch features Jeff Parks, CEO of Stack Capital Group Inc. (TSX:STCK). Jeff co-founded the company, which successfully completed its IPO in June 2021. Stack's mission is to 'democratize' access into growth & late-stage pre-ipo businesses, giving all investors, regardless of size, the opportunity to participate in the future growth of a portfolio of innovative and disruptive private companies. In addition, Stack's public listing provides a valuable liquidity option for shareholders, eliminating what has typically been a 'barrier to entry' into this attractive asset class. Stack shareholders have the freedom and flexibility to buy & sell shares whenever required. Jeff has over a decade of investment industry and portfolio management experience, having successfully co-managed three North American Hedge Fund mandates. He specializes in identifying companies in their infancy and has actively worked alongside management teams to help drive growth. Jeff is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), and a graduate of the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University in Ontario, Canada.

Recently married to his beautiful wife Robyn, and master to his dog Hudson, Jeff can typically be found on the golf course, ski hill, or traveling abroad when trying to relax.
