POLLY MACK

Director of Business Development, Gryphon Investors ACG New York

As director of business development at Gryphon Investors, Polly Mack is helping her firm invest in industry-leading middlemarket businesses across numerous growth sectors. Making deals with investors requires staying top-of-mind, which is where Mack’s ACG New York board membership and attendance at ACG events nationwide lend a crucial hand.

“I attend various ACG events across the country throughout the year,” says Mack. “These events allow my colleagues and me to connect with banks and sponsors investing across our sectors of focus for both platforms and add-on investments.”

Mack joined Gryphon in 2020, right after the company announced its small-cap fund strategy. Attending ACG events linked her to vital contacts who facilitated deals for the new fund. Professional connections have been instrumental in acclimating the Philadelphia resident to her role as well.

“In fact, some of the more welcoming relationships when I was new to Philly were connections I’d made through ACG events,” Mack says.

David Acharya, an ACG Global board member and former ACG New York president, calls Mack “a serial consumer of ACG events.” She is a member of ACG New York’s advisory board, and among her contributions to the chapter is organizing middle market-focused programming for its Women of Leadership Committee.

“It was a logical decision from the ACG New York advisory board to invite her to join,” says Acharya, also managing partner of Acharya Capital Partners.—DJG
