“We are excited and honored to have a dynamic and diverse Senior Advisory Board in terms of capital sector background, management experience and commitment to social impact engaging diverse communities,” said Rupal Patel, Founder and Principal at Good Scout Capital.

“Creating a pathway for every employee to gain an equity share in the companies they help build and grow makes good sense for the business owners and the investors, because it drives alpha through employee retention and increased productivity and creativity,” added Ray Joseph, former Chief Investment Officer of the State of New Jersey’s Division of Investment.

Stacie Olivares, who serves on corporate boards and was recently appointed by President Biden to the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, applauded the vision of Good Scout to “bring Wall Street and Silicon Valley financial innovation to traditional labor supply businesses that will remain necessary in an ever-growing technological and knowledge economy.”
