Future Standard Taps Industry Veteran Edwin Conway as CEO

The appointment marks a strategic pivot for the Philadelphia-based firm as it seeks to scale its private markets footprint. Conway brings a deep resume to the position, having previously overseen BlackRock’s $350 billion Alternatives business and held senior roles at Blackstone. His mandate is to leverage this experience to accelerate the firm’s growth, building on a recent wave of acquisitions including Portfolio Advisors and Post Road Group’s digital infrastructure unit.

Forman, who co-founded the firm to broaden access to private investment solutions, will now dedicate his time to long-term strategy, fund oversight, and maintaining high-level client relationships. This leadership shift follows the firm's recent expansion into new international markets, including Dubai, Seoul, and Tokyo. The executive transition is supported by a broader recruitment push at Future Standard, which has recently added several senior leaders to its management team, including Chris Keogh as Co-President and Tosin Orimogunje as Chief Commercial Officer of Investment Solutions.
