Bill Foley, American Billionaire with $1.2 billion fortune
Bill Foley has over 32 years of experience in industry consolidation and delivering stockholder value, with a principal background in the financial, technology, insurance and services sectors. As a pre-eminent operator, Mr. Foley has led six separate multi-billion dollar public market platforms with hundreds of acquisitions, including FNF, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”) (NYSE: FIS), Black Knight, Ceridian, FGL Holdings and Cannae Holdings. As founder, former Chief Executive Officer, and now Chairman of FNF, Mr. Foley, has built the largest title insurance company in the United States, growing equity value from $3.0 million to over $13.0 billion at its peak. Additionally, Mr. Foley has created over $140.0 billion in market capitalization of companies since founding FNF. In addition to his operational expertise, Mr. Foley has a long track-record as a prudent investor and has realized significant gains on many large investments. Mr. Foley can offer management teams and companies mature, respected and steady leadership. Mr. Foley and his team will identify companies with strong reliable cash flow in a range of market conditions. We believe attractive returns can be earned in the current market environment by taking limited calculated short term volatility risks in exchange for a higher probability of outsized long term returns. We believe Mr. Foley’s calm hand will help a potential target company better navigate today’s uncertain economic environment.
