QED Investors Co-Founder Frank Rotman to Transition to Partner Emeritus at the End of the Year

Published 3 days ago via Business Wire

Leading global fintech venture capital firm QED Investors announced today that co-founder Frank Rotman will transition to a Partner Emeritus role at the end of the year to focus on founding his own startups.

Rotman joined Managing Partner Nigel Morris to co-found QED with Caribou Honig in 2007. Rotman will transition to Partner Emeritus status and play a part-time advisory role over the coming years.

Named to Forbes magazine’s Midas List of the top 100 investors every year since 2018, Rotman led QED’s investment in Credit Karma and played an important role in the company’s investments in successful fintech unicorns including Greensky, Flywire and SoFi.

“It is a bittersweet moment for me because Frank and I have worked together for more than 30 years,” said Morris. “Frank, at his core, is an entrepreneur and I have no doubt he will excel in his next chapter. We are excited for him on a personal level and so very glad that we will continue to be able to call upon him for wisdom and guidance in his role as Partner Emeritus for years to come.”

With Rotman’s transition, QED Investors’ Partner Amias Gerety will be promoted to lead the U.S. investment team. Gerety, who joined QED in 2017, will join the Executive Committee and participate as an observer on the Investment Committee. He will report to Bill Cilluffo, who will resume his duties overseeing all of QED’s early stage investments. Mike Packer, Partner, Head of LatAm, will also join the Executive Committee and participate as an observer on the Investment Committee.

“We are able to absorb Frank’s departure because we have built a world-class team at QED that can adapt and flourish in the light of change,” said Morris.
