Riviera Capital Partners Announces New General Partner and Principal

Borcz brings a wealth of experience on both the operational and transaction side of private equity, as well as the search fund space.

“We are excited to benefit from Adam’s extensive operational and entrepreneurial background as we further deploy capital into the lower middle market,” said Alex Wang, Founder & Managing Partner.

Prior to Riviera Capital, Borcz worked for a Maryland based Private Equity firm focused on acquiring distressed assets, both on the investment and operating sides. As a self-funded searcher, he then acquired one of the largest mid-Atlantic commercial furniture installation companies.

A Naval Academy graduate and former Submarine Officer, Borcz earned his MBA from the Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.

Andrew Crisi

Crisi, a recent MBA graduate of Harvard Business School, brings with him extensive accounting and transaction expertise.

“We are thrilled to welcome Andrew to the team and look forward to leveraging his high horsepower and transaction experience in the launch and management of our third investment fund,” said Chris Jenkins, Founder & Managing Partner of Riviera Capital.

Prior to Riviera Capital, Crisi worked as an M&A Advisor at PwC where he executed financial and operational due diligence for private equity and corporate clients. During his time at Harvard Business School, Crisi helped lead the healthcare vertical at the private equity arm of a U.S.-based single-family office.

Crisi received his MS from Wake Forest University and his BS with distinction from Florida State University. He holds an active CPA license in Florida and in Georgia.
