Former Navy lieutenant, Cisco exec to oversee Tampa investment fund

Longtime technology executive Chris Rivera has been named president of SCP & CO, a Tampa-based private investment fund and management firm that has handled $2.2 billion of aggregate transaction volume in the past 20 years.

Rivera replaces Bryan Crino, who co-founded the firm and was president for 22 years, according to a statement. Crino has moved into the new role of executive chair, where he will oversee the firm’s global strategy. Scott Feuer, who also co-founded the firm, will continue to serve as CEO, the release adds.

Rivera will oversee the firm’s next phase of growth and expansion, according to the statement, “as it evolves from a strong regional investment group to a global private investment and fund management business, with an enhanced focus on investments in technology platforms, software and digital transformation.”
