John Polis, COO & CTO – Star Mountain Capital (EP.64)
John Polis is the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer at Star Mountain Capital. John’s career path has led him to play a pivotal role in transforming Star Mountain in private credit in the lower middle market.
I spent time with John unpacking how data and technology can meaningfully shape investment management operations. We discuss his dual role, the build over buy approach of Star Mountain’s tech stack, and how AI is transforming their investment and portfolio management processes. John shares lessons learned on team enablement, upskilling with AI, and designing platforms to scale.
