Adam Marchick’s Post

Akkadian adds two Partners + VP of RAISE Global Platform   As we continue to expand our capabilities and solidify our position for future growth, we are thrilled to introduce three talented professionals who have recently joined our team: Adam Marchick, Angela Stanley and Scott Dubin.   Adam Marchick joined as a Partner to lead efforts to expand our platform with a series of strategies that will leverage the extensive emerging manager community we have fostered through RAISE Global. The inaugural strategy will provide our Limited Partners with bespoke access to a select group of seed-stage AI-native managers from key entrepreneurial ecosystems.   Angela Stanley joined as a Partner to lead our investor relations & fundraising efforts across the platform. Angela has a long history with the Akkadian team, having assisted the firm in raising Funds IV and V. Angela brings more than 20 years of leadership, advisory and fundraising experience. She is the first investor relations professional in the history of the firm.   Scott Dubin joined as our new Vice President of the RAISE Global platform. In his new role, Scott will spearhead the growth and expansion of the platform, including the RAISE Global Summit, which for the last eight years has brought together nearly 500 limited and general partner leaders every October in the Presidio. Each of these individuals brings a wealth of experience and expertise that will undoubtedly enhance our ability to identify, nurture, and grow the next generation of transformative companies.
