Adam Said Appointed Chair of the Board

A New Chapter of Strategic Vision and Growth for ACE & Company

Adam Said, co-founder of ACE & Company (ACE), is appointed Chair of the Board following a decade as Investment Committee Chair. The role of Chair of the Board bridges Adam’s investment expertise while driving strategic discussions at the board level. Adam will continue to ensure the alignment of ACE’s long-term strategies with its stakeholder interests, while working closely with the Executive Team to shape and execute the firm’s growth strategy.

With over two decades of experience in private equity and a proven track record in managing global organizations, Adam brings both depth and entrepreneurial expertise to his leadership. Adam’s entrepreneurial journey is rooted in his extensive experience as an investor across various sectors and strategies and his practical expertise in private equity as the co-founder of ACE.

Reflecting on ACE's founding, Adam shared, "In 2005, Sherif El Halwagy, Charles Lorenceau, and I brought the entrepreneurial spirit to private equity, and by 2010, we recognized that positioning ourselves across multiple stages of private equity would provide deeper insights and lead to more informed decisions. This collaborative approach has allowed us to build a team with a broad perspective on investment opportunities and deliver repeatable returns.”

We are excited for this next phase of growth and look forward to the value he will continue to bring to ACE and its stakeholders.
