Gov Tommy Thompson Joins Peak Ridge
by Marc Raybin ,Editor February 3, 2010

Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson was announced as the newest advisor to a Peak Ridge Capital Group venture capital fund.

Thompson, who served as governor for America’s Dairyland for four terms from 1986 through 2002, was known for his push for healthcare reform. Not surprisingly, he was also the secretary of health and human services for President George W. Bush from 2001 until 2005.

Thompson will be relied upon at Peak Ridge for his expertise in agriculture and agribusiness. The firm is currently investing its agricultural technology fund, having announced its first investment from the vehicle.

The fund is designed to invest in agricultural technology companies providing solutions for food supply, lowering the cost of production and improving efficiencies in the supply chain. The fund also invests in clean technologies, as well as chemicals, systems and biofuels processes.
