Braemont Capital Hires Two for Deal Sourcing, Portfolio Support

Braemont Capital added two senior hires to its deal-sourcing and portfolio-support teams. Daniel Grinnan joins as managing director from the Riverside Company, where he was a principal. Will Olson comes in as vice president of business development after serving as vice president of corporate development at Vixxo Facility Solutions, a Braemont portfolio company.

Grinnan will source and execute new investments and help oversee portfolio companies. Olson will focus on sourcing, strategic initiatives, and M&A across the portfolio, plus cultivating Braemont's Entrepreneur & Family Office Network.

Founder and managing partner Robert Covington said the hires give the firm "a meaningful edge in how we source and support companies." He added that both Grinnan and Olson "share the belief that relationships and trust are the real currency in this business."

Braemont describes itself as a relationship-driven firm that partners with entrepreneurs and family business owners at growth inflection points. The firm uses a thematic strategy focused on high-growth opportunities where it sees a competitive advantage from proprietary knowledge and industry expertise.

Grinnan holds an MBA from Wharton and a BBA and BS from Southern Methodist University. Olson holds a BS in finance from Miami University.
