The Wilton Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Wilton Library Association, proudly presents the 2023 Economic Forecast meeting on Tuesday, March 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be led by Peter Denious, President and C.E.O. of AdvanceCT, a private nonprofit economic development corporation driving job creation and new capital investment in Connecticut through business attraction, retention and expansion efforts, in close cooperation with state, regional and local partners.
Denious, a Wilton resident, came to AdvanceCT in August 2019 as an accomplished private equity and venture capital professional who helped realize commercial and economic opportunity by connecting ideas, people and capital.
For the past 17 years, Denious has worked for FLAG Capital Management and its successor, Aberdeen Standard Investments, based in Stamford. He was a member of the senior leadership team responsible for growing the FLAG private equity platform to over $6.5 billion in AUM from approximately $1 billion when he joined in 2001. During his tenure, he oversaw the venture capital fund investment program and became deeply involved with FLAG’s push into international markets, particularly Europe and Asia. He was a member of both the Investment and Management Committees and was ultimately responsible for a $2 billion investment portfolio.
Denious is a graduate of Trinity College and received his MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College where he is a board member of the Center for Private Equity and Venture Capital. Peter is an ex-officio member of the Governor’s Workforce Council. He is also a member of Social Venture Partners Connecticut, a not for profit focused on closing the opportunity gap in Connecticut by supporting innovative organizations and initiatives in education and workforce development.
