Brandon Paxton — Founder & CEO
Brandon Paxton is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TiffPax Holdings Inc., a modern equity firm rooted in discipline, innovation, and strategic vision. A dual JD/MBA graduate of the University of Chicago, Brandon brings a rare combination of legal precision and business acumen to the world of asset management.
Prior to launching TiffPax Holdings, Brandon gained experience at some of the nation's most respected institutions, including Latham & Watkins, Apple's in-house legal team, and multiple investment and legal ventures in both corporate law and strategic finance.
