Living our values

Growing up in San Francisco, I experienced firsthand how quickly my surroundings, and the broader world could evolve. Technology was constantly reshaping the city, and what felt familiar one day often looked different the next. Seeing this taught me that the people who thrived were those open to learning and growth. That’s why Apax’s value of learn, adapt and grow resonates so strongly with me.
