Victory Park Capital, an investment firm focused on middle-market debt and equity investments, brought in 20-year industry veteran Troy Jamison as chief risk officer for the firm’s non-bank financial services portfolio. Jamison will be based in Chicago and report directly to CEO and Co-Founder Richard Levy.

As VPC’s first CRO, Jamison will oversee the assessment and management of risk within the firm’s credit and equity portfolios, as well as evaluate and execute investments and assist portfolio companies with strategic initiatives.

“Troy’s notable experience and expertise in all areas of our business will be a true value-add in evaluating risk and advising the firm and our portfolio companies,” Levy said. “Troy’s crucial guidance will enable our firm to grow our non-bank financial services portfolio strategically and deliver meaningful results for our investors.”

Jamison spent the majority of his career with Capital One as a managing vice president and credit officer. He led a wide variety of functions focusing on credit risk and analytics across various lending products, both nationally and internationally. Most recently, Jamison served as a senior advisor with the boutique credit risk consultancy 2nd Order Solutions.

“I look forward to working closely with the team at VPC and continuing to drive long-term value creation in the firm’s fintech investments, where risk management has become of utmost importance,” Jamison said.
