Madison (Denomme) Pascual

Originally from Detroit, I attended college at DePaul University in Chicago where I graduated summa cum laude with a BS in Finance and minors in Accounting and French.

In an effort to somehow combine my interests in marketing, behavioral economics and finance, I began my career at Credit Suisse working on the Consumer & Retail Investment Banking team in New York. After two years at Credit Suisse, I moved to Vestar Capital Partners, a middle market private equity fund, where I evaluated late-stage businesses across consumer, business services, and healthcare verticals. While at Vestar, I found myself increasingly passionate about partnering with growth-stage brands that are redefining categories, pushing boundaries, and working to make our planet a better place. I was ecstatic to pursue this interest by joining Verlinvest, where I spend my time sourcing and executing transactions in addition to supporting our portfolio of best-in-class brands.

I’m passionate about consumer brands because of my love for connecting with people and understanding why we make the decisions we do. I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities in consumer, digital, and health & care verticals.
