Prior to Seven Springs, RJ led direct investments for the Allen & Company partnership across concentrated public equity investments and company-building private platforms. Before Allen, RJ was at Shumway Capital and similarly straddled public equities, private buyouts, and company building – helping launch and build a therapeutics company that became Finch Therapeutics (OTC: FNCH), a pioneer in microbiome science. RJ started his career in private equity at TPG and in investment banking at Greenhill.
