Business Development Director

“The strongest opportunities often begin with the right relationship at the right time. By understanding where a company is headed—and what its founders want to achieve—we can connect strategic opportunities with the capital, partners, and expertise needed to accelerate growth.”

Tyler leads business development efforts at Progress Partners, focusing on deal origination, relationship development, and identifying innovative technology and media companies pursuing strategic growth or liquidity. He works closely with founders, executives, investors, and the broader Progress team to build relationships and uncover opportunities across the firm’s core sectors.

Since joining Progress Partners in 2021, Tyler has become a key point of connectivity between the firm and the broader technology ecosystem. He regularly represents Progress Partners at major industry conferences and works with entrepreneurs and management teams to understand their strategic priorities, identify potential opportunities, and connect them with the firm’s advisory capabilities.

Prior to Progress Partners, Tyler held roles at Wayfair, Brightcove, and Keller Williams Realty. His experience across e-commerce, advertising and media technology, and real estate brings a broad commercial perspective to business development and relationship management.

Tyler earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Finance and Management from Northeastern University.
