Alexander S Panos, a general partner and managing director of TSG Consumer Partners, is leaving the firm to start his own private equity fund.
Chuck Esserman, chief executive and founder of TSG, says: “Alex has been a valued member of our leadership team, and we wish him great success in his new business.”
Panos (pictured) joined TSG as an associate in 1998 in San Francisco and after successive promotions was named a managing director of TSG in 2004. In 2007, he moved to TSG’s New York office. He also served on TSG’s investment committee.
“I greatly appreciate my time at TSG. I am especially proud to have been part of the incredible investment and operating team TSG has built and the remarkable track record the firm has achieved,” says Panos. “Now, I am looking forward to the opportunities available for a fund serving smaller entrepreneurial growth companies. During my many years with TSG, I have been fortunate to develop a great deal of experience, knowledge and many relationships in this segment of the market.
“I plan to do so with a substantial personal investment, along with other investors. I will share more details soon.”
