Longtime technology industry leaders Chad Cohen and Ryan Domyancic unveiled Scala Advisors, their new Seattle-based advisory firm designed to help growth-stage companies in the public and private markets.
Cohen is the former CFO at Zillow Group and Adaptive Biotechnologies; he led IPOs for both Seattle tech giants. Most recently he was CFO and COO at Earth observation data startup Capella Space.
Domyancic got started in investment banking, joined William Blair as an equity research analyst, then did investor relations stints with Grubhub and Vacasa.
Scala means “scale” in Latin — and it’s what the firm hopes to provide clients, using the expertise in finance and operations that Cohen and Domyancic bring to the table.
Services offered range from operational and capital planning, to public company readiness advice, to mentorship and coaching for execs.
“I’m thrilled to be able to continue the work I’ve done as a CFO and board member but now as a trusted advisor and partner to companies across sectors who aim to make a difference in the world,” Cohen wrote on LinkedIn.
