Robert Geronimo

Robert Di Geronimo is a Managing Partner at Glouston Capital Partners, a Boston-headquartered private equity investment firm, and sits on the firm's Investment Committee. He joined the firm in 1998 and is responsible for sourcing and evaluating investment opportunities, interviewing general partners, performing financial analysis of portfolio investments, and monitoring existing investments.

Before joining Glouston, Di Geronimo was a Senior Associate at Price Waterhouse in the firm's Investment Partnership and Offshore Fund practice, where he audited funds managed by various investment firms — including Glouston Capital Partners itself, which is how he became familiar with the firm before joining it. He earned a BS in Accounting with a minor in Management Information Systems from the University of Delaware.

Glouston Capital Partners was founded in 1994 and is a 100% employee-owned private equity specialist. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported more than 30 years of experience and over $3.4 billion in committed capital. Its senior leadership alongside Di Geronimo includes Red Barrett (Senior Managing Partner), Michael D'Agostino (Managing Partner), and Ben Marino (Managing Partner, CFO and Chief Compliance Officer). (The firm was historically associated with the "Permal Capital Management" entity name, which is why some aggregator databases file Glouston records under that name.)

• Invests across four private equity strategies, per the firm: Secondary (opportunistic purchases of existing PE positions, with a North American buyout focus), Primary (buyout fund commitments across the market-cap spectrum), Co-Invest (direct partnership in "attractive companies with strong profitability"), and Custom ("bespoke private equity solutions built in partnership with investors").
• Targets established, profitable buyout-stage companies and top-tier general partners — the opposite end of the maturity spectrum from angel/seed investing.
• Di Geronimo's personal remit centers on GP diligence and manager selection: "sourcing and evaluating investment opportunities, interviewing general partners, performing financial analysis of portfolio investments, and monitoring existing investments."
• Deploys institutional private-equity capital ($3.4B+ committed); the firm invests primarily as a limited partner and co-investor rather than writing startup checks.

Glouston invests chiefly as a fund-of-funds, secondaries buyer, and co-investor, so its exposures are private equity fund positions and buyout co-investments rather than named venture/startup deals. Individual portfolio-company names and Di Geronimo's specific deals are not publicly disclosed in primary sources. Aggregators (PitchBook, Preqin, Tracxn) list Glouston fund vehicles — including Glouston Capital Partners Secondary Fund offerings — but do not attribute specific company-level deals to Di Geronimo by name. No verifiable individual portfolio-company list is available; none are invented here.
