Brian MacInnes

CFO

"I really enjoy fixing things - whether it is a house project or a multi-billion dollar company, which is probably what led me down the path of private equity for the past decade. In VC, I am able to get my hands on portfolio companies earlier and help implement best practices from the beginning to set our companies up for success."

About Brian

I have run the gamut of finance roles in Los Angeles after graduating from UC Santa Barbara.  I started my career at Deloitte as an Audit Manager in the Technology, Manufacturing and Telecommunications (TMT) group. After that, I helped a number of later-stage startups in Los Angeles, most notably TrueCar, where I played a key role in the company’s IPO filing.

For the better part of the last decade, I worked at Evolution Media Capital, a private equity fund formed in a partnership between TPG Growth Capital and Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Platinum Equity. At both funds I worked closely with our portfolio companies to implement best practices in finance and operations.

I am a licensed CPA in the State of California (Inactive). 

I live in Los Angeles with my wife Jesse and our three young boys.  When I am not coaching the kids in soccer or other sports you can find me working on my golf game.
