Recently, he was responsible for bringing Google to Chicago’s Central Loop in a groundbreaking redevelopment of the James R.

In these and other investments, his goal has been to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns for the firm’s investors, while enhancing those communities in which Capri responsibly invests.

In addition to his business interests, Mr. Primo is active in civic and non-profit initiatives. He is a founder and currently co-chairman of the Primo Center for Women and Children, a transitional center and family institute for the homeless; was the founding chairman of the Chicago Alliance to End Homelessness; and is a board member of the Chicago Council of Global Affairs, School of the Art Institute of Chicago as well as board chair of the Church Investment Group.
