Vincenzo La Ruffa, previously a managing director of Susquehanna Growth Equity, the private equity subsidiary of trading and technology company Susquehanna International Group, has joined private equity firm Aquiline Capital Partners to lead its fintech investments.
La Ruffa co-founded Susquehanna Growth Equity in 2006, after spending time at NGP Energy Technology Partners and EnerTech Capital. The unit’s investments over the past year include credit data provider Credit Karma, online payment service Payoneer and video software developer Clearleap.
“Aquiline has some of the most experienced leadership in the financial services sector,” said La Ruffa. “We have a truly unique platform, which can bring significant value to financial technology companies seeking to grow.
“I look forward to working with my new colleagues on a range of opportunities, particularly as the demand for data management and analytics is growing exponentially.”
