Today, we are very excited to announce that we are adding Jeff Browning to the team at Next Coast Ventures. Jeff is joining our team as a Venture Partner where he will focus on helping our portfolio companies with all aspects of organizational design, talent acquisition and executive development. Jeff’s addition to our team underscores our relentless focus on building out a firm with a continual thesis around how can we bring the best and brightest minds to the entrepreneurs that we serve.
Jeff has 30 years experience in executive talent acquisition across multiple industry sectors and company sizes ranging from startups to the Fortune 100. Most recently, he was a Principal at GTCR Private Equity, recruiting CEO candidates for their prestigious Leaders Strategy Program. Prior to GTCR, Jeff spent 15 years as the Recruiting Partner for Austin Ventures. In that role, he led all the executive talent acquisition programs supporting both the Venture Capital and Growth Equity practice areas.
We are thrilled to have Jeff on our growing team and can’t wait to introduce him to our growing portfolio of amazing entrepreneurs! Building a new business is really hard – we know it from personal experience – and talent acquisition and development is oftentimes the most important part of an entrepreneur’s job. Jeff’s passion and expertise is focused on helping entrepreneurs overcome this exact challenge – and we think Jeff will be a crucial tool for helping our portfolio companies succeed.
Since day one, Next Coast Ventures has been “built by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs,” and we are hyper-focused on leveraging our network of industry experts to help our portfolio companies reach new levels of growth. Jeff is one more example of this mindset – and his addition will complement the rest of our growing team!
Please join us in welcoming Jeff to the Next Coast team – we are excited to have him and we expect our ass-kicking entrepreneurs will feel the same way!
