Michelle Noon, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Clearhaven Partners
Noon has come a long way from the cornfields of Illinois, where she grew up. Last year, Noon, 39, co-founded Clearhaven Partners, a private equity firm that invests in software-focused technology companies, in Boston.
Clearhaven Partners
Noon previously worked as a general partner at Riverside Partners, Thoma Bravo and Morgan Stanley.
“This business is all about people,” she says. “The vision for the firm is to not only maintain a very high standard of performance, but also to be extremely partnership oriented.”
She got her bachelor's degree at University of Notre Dame and an MBA at Harvard Business School. Noon believes women can flourish in private equity, but that the best way for PE firms to attract women is to retain those who are performing well. Noon is a big fan of skiing and design. She lives in Boston with her husband and two kids.
