We are proud to announce that Great Hill Principals Joe Germanese and Chris Govey have been named to GrowthCap’s 2023 List of Top 40 Under 40 Growth Investors. Awardee selections were based on each nominee's depth of investing experience and feedback from colleagues and portfolio company CEOs.

“It is an honor to work for a firm that serves as a true partner to its portfolio companies and has the opportunity to make an impact on the next generation of leading software companies bringing disruptive products to market,” said Joe. “It is a privilege to be recognized alongside so many accomplished colleagues, and we look forward to continuing our efforts in supporting and growing software companies in the years ahead.”

“What I love about growth investing at Great Hill is carefully evaluating value creation paths alongside exceptional management teams, and then moving forward with determination toward a common goal,” said Chris. “I am grateful for the recognition from GrowthCap and believe it represents the collective efforts of our firm’s software and services group as we seek to build on our multi-decade reputation with growth-stage businesses. We are excited to continue serving our portfolio (and establishing new partnerships) in 2024!”
