Naik, operating partner, will establish and lead a new Predictive Product Management practice. Symos, vice president, will join the existing Sales & Marketing Acceleration practice.
“Having the depth and breadth of operating leverage that we bring to our portfolio companies is unique across the growth equity investment landscape,” said Chris Sugden, managing partner of Edison Partners. “In our view, both capital and operating leverage are paramount to building fast growers and core to our investment strategy.”
Prior to Edison, Naik was senior vice president of product and operations for Dataminr. Before that, he was part of the Capital IQ executive team.
Symons joined Edison from Billtrust. Before that, she led channel and partner development for Henkel.
