About Craig Toren
I recently graduated from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and began my career at Caterpillar through its Graduate Leadership Development Program. During my time at Booth, I gained hands-on exposure to a wide range of investing disciplines, including angel investing, venture capital, private equity, and public markets. These experiences came through internships with an angel network, a venture capital firm, and two private equity firms, as well as through rigorous finance coursework with an emphasis on finance. This broad exposure helped me refine my investment perspective and position me well for whatever business focus the future has for me.I’m excited to continue applying strategic thinking and analytical depth to high-impact business investing and problem solving. Feel free to reach out—I\'d love to connect!
