Love is one of the world's most successful private equity and hedge fund investors—as Chairman of GVG Capital and GVG AI; and former Chairman/Founder of Macy's and ABInbev's digital business.
Love is best known for building the world's first billion-dollar eCommerce business; building the world's first profitable billion-dollar digital business; leading the world's four most successful digital transformations; and building more profitable billion-dollar digital businesses than anyone in history.
Love created $100 billion+ in value as a Silicon Valley CEO and Board Chairman; and advised/invested in iconic companies like Apple, Walmart, P&G, JPMorgan, AT&T, American Express, Disney, Nike, Marriott, United Health, UPS, Google, Amazon, CVS, Home Depot, Zara, Tesco, LVMH, VW, Tata, Reliance, 3G and Carlyle.
The Wall Street Journal and CNBC called Love a "Digital-Whiz" and the "Father of Multi-Channel Retail" because he sold his first software company at age 12; started working for Apple as a teenager; built the world's first billion-dollar eCommerce business by age 25; and by age 28 became CEO of a billion-dollar, Silicon Valley software company.
