Responsibility

Home / Responsibility

At Tailwind, our team is driven by a shared purpose to Accelerate Change across our Firm, our portfolio companies, and the broader communities in which we live and work.

Tailwind Ownership Program (TOP)

TOP is an all-employee equity program in which every company employee is granted meaningful common equity which is realized at exit. TOP is designed to align incentives, provide shared wealth creation, and enhance job commitment. We have thus far launched TOP at three portfolio companies – National Trench Safety, Axis Air and Banner.

 

Tailwind strongly believes that diverse thought, background, and perspective produce superior long-term results.

Our TEAM Program (Tailwind Emerging & Ascending Mangers) is a unique leadership and career training program to develop executives at Tailwind portfolio companies. We believe that developing leaders and talent within our portfolio is a key to creating long-term value.

We are proud to be a committed member of the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI), an industry-led initiative which aims to streamline the private investment industry’s historically fragmented approach to collecting important data and to create a critical mass of meaningful, performance-based, comparable data from private companies.

We are committed to being active participants in the communities in which we live and work.

Tailwind supports and empowers all our team members to give back through firm-sponsored projects and initiatives. We also support our portfolio companies in their philanthropic endeavors, many of which have significant corporate responsibility programs. Organizations supported by Tailwind include:
