Living our values

“My grandfather has always been my inspiration. He came to New York from Italy in the 1920’s as a young man. He had a 3rd grade education, no money, did not speak English and faced a looming depression. As an immigrant he faced daunting odds and had to be tenacious to survive. But through that struggle he gained the insight needed to start a landscaping business and raise a family. So the Apax value of impact through insight and tenacity truly rings loudly with me.”

Joseph's Story

Joe has worked for several PE firms during his career, but his Apax experience was different. He found the people at Apax to be smart, personable and driven, but more importantly it was the Apax culture that stood out; consistently transparent, no hidden agendas and always erring on the side of “right”. It was this ethical and centered foundation within Apax that made Joe’s decision to join the firm an easy one.
