Nina Gerson, Jamie Rosen and Jeremy Zhu have all stepped up after conducting a number of deals on behalf of Alphabet's growth equity subsidiary.
CapitalG, the growth equity arm of US-headquartered internet technology conglomerate Alphabet, has promoted investment associates Nina Gerson, Jamie Rosen and Jeremy Zhu to vice-president positions.
The unit hired Gerson in 2019 after her two-year stint as an investment banker at investment banking firm Union Square Advisors, where she advised technology companies with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and private capital funding transactions.
Her role at CapitalG entailed Gerson leading a series D round for digital insurance platform Next Insurance in September 2020 and serving as a board observer for Strive Health, a kidney care provider that received $140m in series B funding from the unit in March this year.
Rosen also joined CapitalG in 2019, having previously been an associate consultant for two years at professional services firm Bain & Company, where she focused on areas including consumer packaged goods, healthcare and private equity.
CapitalG’s investments involving Rosen include cybersecurity software provider Expel’s $50m series D round in May 2020 and cloud security technology developer Orca Security’s $210m series C round 10 months later.
The unit likewise brought Zhu on board in the same year as Gerson and Rosen. He had been an investment banking analyst for two years at investment bank Moelis & Company, which tasked him with M&A and restructuring deals in the technology, media, and telecommunications space.
In addition to helping CapitalG execute investments in legal data analytics platform Everlaw in March 2020 as well as remote notary service Notarize and digital identity network operator ID.me the year after, Zhu holds a board observer position at banking software provider Mantl.
