Riveron Welcomes Two New Members to Its Board of Directors

Board expansion reflects strategic focus on scaling market presence and enhancing client value

Riveron, a leading advisory firm that drives value creation for CFOs, private equity firms, and other capital providers, today announced the addition of two new members to its Board of Directors—Jaideep Bajaj as Chairman and Mike McKay as a Director, effective immediately.

As Chairman of Riveron’s Board, Bajaj will leverage his experience with ZS Associates to provide strategic guidance and insight into navigating Riveron through an accelerating growth trajectory. As a Director on Riveron’s Board, McKay will leverage his deep expertise and support for the firm’s existing momentum, providing financial advisory services to private equity clients.

“I look forward to working alongside Jaideep and Mike as they join Riveron’s Board of Directors,” said Sam Shaw, CEO of Riveron. “Beyond their deep expertise, they bring exceptional values and wisdom, and I am confident our people and clients will all benefit from having Jaideep and Mike at the table.”

With over 25 years of leadership experience, Bajaj has successfully scaled boutique firms into world-class organizations. He served as CEO and Chairman of ZS Associates, where he played a key role in transforming the healthcare, biotech, and pharmaceuticals consulting and technology firm into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise.

“Riveron is at an exciting point in the firm’s evolution, and I look forward to partnering with the Company’s management team to help advise on their exciting growth journey,” said Bajaj. “The business is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the growing disruption in the Office of the CFO market and further strengthen its market-leading position.”

McKay brings over 30 years of consulting and investment fund experience to Riveron’s Board. He currently serves as a leader in Bain’s Private Equity practice.

“Riveron has tremendous potential to continue its impressive track record of scaling with its deep roster of blue-chip private equity clients,” said McKay. “I look forward to contributing perspectives from my career to help Riveron continue accelerating its growth while delivering financial advisory services to PE funds and portfolio companies.”

“We’re pleased to welcome Jaideep and Mike to Riveron’s Board of Directors,” said Ahmed Wahla, Partner at Kohlberg, a leading U.S. middle-market private equity firm and majority investor in Riveron. “This is an exciting time for the firm, and their extensive experience in scaling businesses into best-in-class firms aligns with the strategic direction charted for Riveron’s next phase of growth.”
