Principal

Philip A. Piro

Phil joined our predecessor firm, Princeton Ventures, in 2018 and focuses on sourcing and executing transactions for Princeton. He also provides operating support to our portfolio companies and has served as the President and COO of medspa810. Prior to joining Princeton, Phil served as the COO of Brad’s Raw Chips, where he managed the company’s supply chain and manufacturing facility and successfully executed numerous operational improvements and strategic priorities. Before Brad’s, Phil launched and managed a beverage business called Captains Neck Brands. Phil began his career at Deutsche Bank and Citigroup.

Phil’s current investments include Accelerated Brands (the parent company to Strickland Brothers and Trademark Car Wash), Princeton Medspa Partners, and Card My Yard.

Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying.
