Pritzker Alternative Strategies Expands its Senior Team With the Appointment of Danny Quintana as Investment Principal

Senior-Level Appointment Adds Private Markets Investing and Fundraising Experience Along With Deep Family Investor Relationships to Differentiated Family Capital Team

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pritzker Alternative Strategies LP (“PAS” or “the firm”), a differentiated family capital investment firm focused on making investments in high-quality private equity funds and related investment opportunities, today announced that experienced private markets investor Danny Quintana has joined the firm as Investment Principal.

Mr. Quintana brings to PAS more than a decade of experience executing private equity fund investing strategies and leading private markets investing and fundraising initiatives for family investors. At PAS, he will immediately extend the firm’s family capital network and accelerate the firm’s capabilities in connecting family investors with high-quality fund managers across middle- and lower middle-market funds, including emerging managers.

“Danny’s successful private markets investing track record and deep relationships with family groups make him an excellent addition to PAS as we expand our senior team amid strong demand for our differentiated offering,” said Paul Carbone, Co-Founder and President of PAS, and Chair of the firm’s Investment Committee. “We have built an experienced team to execute a differentiated strategy focused on transparency, collaboration and value-added partnership. We are seeing exciting interest in the PAS platform as we deploy our first vehicle and help families invest in hard-to-access private equity managers.”

“The Pritzker family legacy is impressive and I am honored to join the PAS team in building a different approach to family capital investing,” said Mr. Quintana. “We share a strong conviction that investing in high-quality lower middle market private equity funds can represent an attractive investment strategy for families. I am thrilled to partner with my new colleagues as we connect family capital to the private equity market with discipline, speed and certainty.”

Mr. Quintana joins PAS from Promus Capital Management, where he helped manage the firm’s relationships with general partners across a series of private equity fund strategies and supported the firm’s successful fundraising among family offices, high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. As a member of the investment team at Promus, he was involved in all phases of fund and co-investment underwriting, including sourcing, diligence and manager evaluations. Prior to his tenure at Promus, Mr. Quintana helped establish an in-house private equity investment program for family-owned investment firm Morgan Street Holdings. He began his career at Twin Bridge Capital Partners, a North American middle-market private equity fund-of-funds platform, where he was a key member of the firm’s early investment team, helping institutionalize its investment platform and drive significant growth in assets under management. Mr. Quintana received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Illinois and an MBA from the University of Notre Dame. At Illinois, he was a four-year walk-on for the Fighting Illini football team.

PAS is actively deploying its inaugural vehicle, Pritzker PAS Fund LP (“PAS I”), and has made a significant number of fund commitments and co-investments. PAS targets limited partner commitments of $15-25 million per underlying fund and $5-15 million per co-investment across both growth- and value-oriented strategies that tend to focus on the services, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors. The firm is also deploying capital in the independent sponsor market, which represents an active and growing segment of the lower middle market that complements the firm’s fund commitment and co-investment investing activity.
