In addition, our team has significant hands-on experience working with private companies in preparing for and executing an initial public offering and serving as active owners and directors by working closely with these companies to continue their transformations and help create value in the public markets.

Our management team is led by Baudouin Prot, Philippe De Backer and Scott Reed. Members of our management team have been responsible for a wide range of notable transactions in the financial services industry around the world. These include Baudouin Prot, who during his tenure as Chairman and CEO of BNP Paribas SA, implemented a successful expansion strategy to enter the U.S. market. Additionally, our CEO (Philippe De Backer), as the former global head of the Financial Services practice at Bain & Company, has been a business and thought leader in the development of digital banking strategies throughout the world (including the development of the initial ING Direct strategy). Finally, our President (Scott Reed), as the founder of BankCap Partners (a bank-oriented private equity firm), has been responsible for several successful growth-oriented investments in the community banking space in the U.S., including Atlanta, Georgia-based Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc., a large de novo bank.
