I am excited to bring my experience to the table, driving our shared vision forward and capitalizing on new opportunities."

Charger Investment Partners is equally excited to welcome Karen Parks to their team. Aaron Perlmutter, one of the founding partners, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "We are so excited to welcome Karen as a key leader on our team. Over the years, I've had the privilege of witnessing Karen's natural ability to build long-lasting relationships and her growth as a strategic thinker. With Karen on board, we further Charger's commitment to our limited partners of operational excellence. Together, we will continue to drive our firm's mission, delivering value to our portfolio companies and investors."

In addition to hiring Ms. Parks, Charger Investment Partners has expanded its team further with two other key hires.
