Bravo began his professional career working in mergers and acquisitions for Morgan Stanley & Co. In 1998, he joined Thoma Bravo’s predecessor firm, Thoma Cressey Equity Partners. In the early 2000s, the firm allowed Bravo to lead the acquisition of product distribution software provider Prophet 21. It was the first software deal the firm had ever done, and one of the earliest take-private transactions in the software sector. In 2008, Bravo helped form Thoma Bravo when the firm changed its name and investment focus. Under his leadership, Thoma Bravo has consistently produced returns for the hundreds of limited partners in its funds that have placed it amongst the best for its peer group, and the firm is now one of the top technology buyout firms in the United States.
