On his path from family business operator to co-founder, chairman and CEO of Pritzker Private Capital (PPC), Tony Pritzker turned lessons learned from his family’s tradition of building businesses into a disciplined direct investment model.
Pritzker started his career working in operations for the Marmon Group with his uncle.
“We had a history of, in our family, buying a bunch of different businesses and helping them to optimize and operate at the best level that they can,” he says.
The experience he gained in operations and investing laid the foundation for his next step, when the family broke apart their businesses and each member of Pritzker’s generation received 1/11th of the total.
