Leading growth equity investment firm Edison Partners today announced it has expanded its investment team with the appointment of Daniel Herscovici as Partner. Herscovici is a recognized leader in Smart Home, IoT and digital transformation.
As an investment partner, Herscovici’s initial focus will be on the firm’s Enterprise Solutions sector, sourcing and leading investments and helping companies optimize their business strategies and models. Given his extensive operating expertise and experiences, he will spend considerable time in the IoT sector and with companies where small businesses and consumers are target markets.
“Growth-stage technology businesses need more than capital to scale growth and become market leaders,” said Chris Sugden, Managing Partner of Edison Partners. “Dan’s proven results in building and running technology and services businesses significantly enhances our ability to invest in and build best-in-class companies.”
Herscovici most recently served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Xfinity Home, the Comcast Home Security, Smart Home and IoT business unit. Xfinity Home is recognized as the fastest growing home security business in the U.S. with more than 1.2 million subscribers. See full bio.
