<a href="https://www.dealstreetasia.com/tag/Softbank/">SoftBank</a> Investment Advisers has appointed former <a href="https://www.dealstreetasia.com/tag/Technology-Crossover-Ventures/">Technology Crossover Ventures</a> (TCV) Vice President Ramzi Ramsey as a new director at its almost $100 billion <a href="https://www.dealstreetasia.com/tag/Vision-Fund">Vision Fund</a>.
According to his Linkedin account, Ramsey started his position as Vision Fund investment director this month, ending his four year affiliation with TCV, a growth equity firm focused on investing in both private and public technology companies.
At San Fransisco-based TCV, which has $12.5 billion under management, Ramsey focused on later-stage investments in the consumer internet and mobile technology, software, and education sectors. Some of his notable investment includes Rover, SeatGeek, Varsity Tutors, and Zillow.
Prior to his time at TCV, Ramsey, who is California-born but spent most of his childhood in Saudi Arabia, was an investor with PE firm TA Associates where he focused on sourcing and executing investments in the financial technology and software sectors.
Softbank’s move to hire Ramsey follows its reported appointment of former Deutsche Bank AG executive Faisal Rahman earlier this month to head the Vision Fund’s operations in the Middle East. It is understood that Rahman will help manage relations with the Vision Fund’s two key backers — Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Abu Dhabi wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co.
The SoftBank Vision Fund, run by billionaire Masayoshi Son, is the world’s biggest pool of money focused on technology, with most contributions coming from sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East.
Having previously injected capital into consumer tech firms such as Uber and DoorDash, Softbank recently made only its second-ever investment in an enterprise software company by backing California-based Cohesity, company that provides services to help businesses store, manage and protect their data.
