Edison Partners today announced the promotions of Tom Vander Schaaff to General Partner and David Nevas to Partner. The moves, coming on the heels of a highly active 2016, including 12 investments and 8 exits, will support Edison’s expanding investment portfolio and the continued growth of its value-added platform, the Edison Edge.
“Edison Partners celebrated our thirtieth anniversary in 2016 with a truly stellar year of new investments and exits, and we are excited to kick off 2017 with these two well-deserved promotions,” said Chris Sugden, Managing Partner.
