People & Culture | Thoma Bravo

At Thoma Bravo, we believe that people working together makes all the difference in the world. We pride ourselves on hiring and retaining exceptional talent to build partnerships for success. We have a demonstrated track record of excellence that results from our differential approach, high standards and entrepreneurial spirit.

Our team is focused on continuing to advance our dynamic culture and develop young talent into future leaders. We offer longer-term career growth opportunities, challenging work and a supportive environment throughout all levels of the organization – with a promise to create something significant.

We define our culture in 3 ways:

Performance-Oriented

Creating value by delivering outcomes

Collaborative

Sharing knowledge to drive results

Open-Minded

Welcoming fresh ideas and perspectives

At the core of Thoma Bravo's culture is mentorship – it's engrained in everything we are and everything we do. Thoma Bravo was formed out of a mentor-mentee relationship when Carl Thoma hired Orlando Bravo at the start of his private equity career and taught him the science of deal-making. The two, now partners and co-founders, continue to foster a mentorship culture.

We recognize our talent as a key driver to success and look to develop our employees' natural skillsets and leadership abilities. We keep our investment teams small to give individuals more responsibilities, authority and room for creativity. We make it a point to hire right and accelerate from within; in fact, many of our partners started at Thoma Bravo as associates.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Our human capital is our most valuable asset

The collective sum of our employees' individual differences, life experiences, age, innovation, self-expression, capabilities and talent is the fabric of our culture and a key driver of our reputation and success.

We believe that an inclusive culture forms the core of a collaborative and innovative work environment – one that allows all employees to reach their highest potential. In recruitment, we seek to attract and hire candidates with a wide variety of experiences and perspectives who can tangibly contribute to the firm’s mission while also successfully growing their own careers.

OUR COMMUNITY

Across Thoma Bravo, our employees care deeply about the communities in which we live and work, and we are excited to support this passion through our Charitable Giving Program.

In addition to financial support, we foster a culture that promotes and values social impact, and our employees share a dedication to making a difference within our communities. We encourage and empower our people to champion their unique causes in addition to the initiatives and programs that Thoma Bravo sponsors and supports.
