Peloton is also welcoming a group of five Operating Partners for Fund II. Tom Bailey, Kevin Hill, Ted Hull, Keith Longson and Albert Prast, who all bring experience and company-building know how that is complementary to Peloton’s investment team and specifically relevant to companies and sectors Fund II will target.
