Patona Partners

Patona Partners

Patona Partners was established in 2019 by Jackson Tai. Its capital base stems from the principals’ prior leadership roles at global companies and investment firms including J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, General Atlantic, and CPPIB. The firm executes direct co-investments and SPVs in private equity. It targets companies with sustainable profitability, modest capital expenditure needs, and limited existing debt. Confirmed positions reflect activity across healthcare services, business services and distribution, industrial and manufacturing, consumer retail and luxury goods, financial services, media and entertainment, real estate, and technology. Geographic focus centers on North America with additional reach into global opportunities through prior board roles at Eli Lilly, Mastercard, HSBC, and Singapore Airlines. The firm supplements its capital with an investor network of other family offices and high-net-worth individuals that share the same long-term orientation. Deployment totals exceed $1 billion of equity capital over the past 15 years. The team maintains a single office in Greenwich, Connecticut. Jackson Tai also serves on the boards of the Committee of 100, the Harvard Business School Asia-Pacific Advisory Board, and the Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Advisory Board. Philanthropic activity includes support for the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and Neighbor to Neighbor. Patona Partners maintains an Owner and Executive Network that supplies sector specialists for portfolio companies. This structure allows the firm to embed operating expertise directly into investments rather than relying solely on external managers or fund commitments.
