About

CEO & Senior Managing Director with 18+ years’ experience accomplishing critical, strategic milestone projects and evaluating middle-market investment opportunities. -- As a business transformation leader, I elevate businesses to deliver sustainable, record-breaking growth, volume, and operating income. In 2018, I was appointed CEO of Madison Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life Investments (NYLIM) and led the firm through a merger of equals with two other investment firms. Following the successful merger, I was named CEO of Apogem Capital, NYLIM’s newest investment boutique. Career milestones include achieving record-level AUM for Madison Capital; expanding NYLIM’s European footprint via a strategic partnership with Kartesia; reinventing and globalizing the third-party capital formation strategy for Madison Capital; and collaborating with the CEO of NYLIM on strategic initiatives to expand its global multi-boutique platform. In addition to my business management expertise, I strive to create opportunities for my team to excel, from opening avenues of communication and breaking down siloes to promoting from within and encouraging professional development. ✉️ cwtaylor
