Since joining TPG in 2017, Brad has been a trusted Partner and advisor to many across the firm. He was instrumental in TPG’s IPO and transition to a public company, as well as our acquisition of Angelo Gordon. He’s had a successful legal career, spanning the private and public sectors, and we thank him for his many contributions to TPG over the years.”
