It’s Teddy Schwartz

Hey, I’m Ted Schwartz! I’ve founded APAC, a publicly traded leader in outsourced customer expereince solutions. Serving Fortune 500 clients, it grew to over 25,000 employees before being successfully sold.

Currently, I’m the co-founder and a board member of OppFi, a tech-enabled, mission-driven specialty finance platform that partners with community banks to expand credit access for everyday Americans. I’m also the co-founder of Strand Equity Partners, a forward-thinking growth equity investment firm, and the founding partner of Schwartz Capital Group, a family investment office.

I’m deeply passionate about giving back and creating positive change. I founded StandStrong, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth through self-defense, teamwork and discipline. Through the Schwartz Family Foundation, I support a range of charitable causes. Additionally, I’m honored to serve as a patient speaker for City of Hope, where I share my personal journey to raise awareness and inspire others.
