Alex Conconi

Founding Partner

I am the Founding Partner and President of CGP. My fascination with technology and family history in the mortgage industry propelled me to build/co-found CGP (2011), Lendesk (2013), and Neighbourhood Holdings (2015). I am a big believer in the value of entrepreneurship in a healthy and functioning society/economy, and in my professional life, I have consistently sought companies that will have a lasting impact in the industries in which they operate. This journey has led me to work alongside the brilliant and amazing people that make up our team.

When I’m not in office, I like to get outside on a bike, a hike, or find a sunny patio with some family or friends.

Partner

I am a Partner and Vice President of CGP. In 2020, I launched Edison Financial with the mission to transform the mortgage experience with the help of technology. Edison would go on to change its name to Rocket Mortgages Canada in 2022, and conduct business under the Rocket Mortgage™ brand.

Providing debt and equity growth capital for young and growing businesses is a specialty of mine. I am often actively involved in the growth and execution of these companies at the board level, and particularly enjoy assisting with strategic planning, business development, and financing activities.

When I’m not in office, you’ll find me crafting exquisite works of art in Excel.

Leveraging my legal background and experience negotiating transactions, I facilitate all aspects of CGP’s business, be it leading from the front end of a transaction, assisting in portfolio risk mitigation strategies, or providing guidance to CGP’s portfolio companies.

When I’m not in office, you’ll need to grab a bike and catch me on an extended two-wheeled adventure.

Shehbaz Hussain

Shehbaz Hussain

Associate Vice President, Investments

As an investment professional, I lead investments for the Conconi family office and manage the Conconi family's balance sheet. Now, this may sound boring, but it’s far from it. On a daily basis, I get to interact with and learn from some of the brightest minds in private/public capital markets and technology, be it fund managers, sell-side advisors, portfolio managers, or passionate entrepreneurs of young and growing technology companies. What more, I get to do this as part of a rock solid team in a setting that is highly collaborative and friendly. I’ve lived and worked in Mumbai, Dubai, New York, and Toronto, and now call Vancouver my home, and my partners at CGP, my extended family.

When I'm not in office, you’ll find me in the gym, on the tennis courts (I’m always on the lookout for new partners to hit with!), or strolling around the city with my wife and daughter.

William Coligado

William Coligado

Chief of Staff

I manage the operational needs of the office and the team. In operations, there is never a dull moment, nor two days the same. A big part of my role includes managing communication flow within the team and externally with stakeholders. The glue, perhaps—or would it be the grease? I am known for making things happen—it’s kind of my thing. Because of this, I am involved in numerous projects across the various departments. Like I said, never boring!

When I’m not in office, you’ll find me playing my violin, or deciding what to watch on Netflix. Yeah, not actually watching Netflix, just going in circles for hours to decide what to watch.
