Marc Puglia, former chief financial officer and managing director of PSG Equity and Providence Equity Partners, joined Ethos Capital as a partner, chief financial officer and member of the senior executive committee.
Puglia brings more than 25 years of financial experience building and operating leading alternative asset management platforms. During his tenure at Providence, a global alternative asset manager with over $50 billion in assets under management, Puglia played a central role in the incubation and development of PSG Equity, helping establish its financial, operational and governance foundations and supporting its growth from inception to approximately $30 billion in assets under management over a 12-year period.
As the firm expands its investment activity, capital base and global relationships, Puglia will play a central role as part of the senior leadership team.
“As Ethos enters its next phase of growth, we are focused on adding a leader who has successfully scaled alternative asset platforms while preserving culture, discipline and long-term alignment,” Erik Brooks, Fadi Chehade and Brent Stone, managing partners of Ethos Capital, collectively said. “Marc’s experience building at scale, combined with his values and leadership style, make him an exceptional addition to our partnership.”
In his role, Puglia will oversee all aspects of the firm’s financial operations and strategy. Additionally, as part of the senior leadership team, he will contribute to the investment process and operational value creation initiatives at portfolio companies.
“Ethos is creating a differentiated alternative asset management platform where operational sophistication and the thoughtful application of AI and advanced technology are central to how value is created,” Puglia said. “That approach, combined with the firm’s partnership culture and long-term mindset, made the opportunity extremely compelling to me. I’m excited to work alongside the team to help scale the platform and build an enduring institution.”
