Marc McMorris has spent more than 25 years investing in technology companies at increasing levels of scale and autonomy. The co-founder and co-chief executive officer of Carrick Capital Partners, a San Francisco-based growth equity firm, has built a platform that has completed 48 investments in software, SaaS, transaction processing, and technology-enabled services companies. He sits on the board of Fair Isaac Corporation, the company behind the FICO credit score used in virtually every consumer lending decision in the United States. He chairs the endowment of the University of Pennsylvania. And he has done all of it while operating as one of the most senior Black executives in the American private equity industry, a sector where Black professionals remain severely underrepresented at the partner level.
