Leadership
Built by people who know.
Tribexa solves for some of the most intractable problems of private markets — like the simple-sounding act of managing business transactions or keeping tabs on private equity. We’re driven by the fact that we’ve lived in these spaces, and we want to provide insight and access and security that private enterprises long for. That’s how we found ourselves creating a proprietary, comprehensive SaaS platform that integrates all the information and puts it at our fingertips.
It’s work we’re proud of, work that changes how the world operates. It’s work that allows business creators to spend more time in the business of creation, strategy and growth and less in the weeds of paperwork and endless minutia.
We invite you to reach out if you’d like to be a part of the team changing how private markets work.
Meet the team.
Pam Hillman

For more than 15 years as Managing Director and CFO of an early-stage venture capital firm, she administered more than $1.3 billion in over 150 companies, returning more than $1.5 billion to investors. Pam also helped raise more than $1.2 billion while providing advisory and back-office support for private equity funds, including buyout, mezzanine, and foreign funds. It’s these experiences — and her first hand knowledge of the gaps in the private capital market — that make Pam the passionate champion for the comprehensive, fully-integrated platform that’s Tribexa.
