Prairie Knoll LLC is an investment firm focused on private equity in the food and agribusiness industries, investing across the food and agriculture value chain - inputs, production, processing, distribution. Prairie Knoll operates as an independent sponsor of buyouts and takes a thoughtful collaborative approach to investing. We have some capital set aside for acquisitions and plan to include additional investors on a deal by deal basis.
The founder, Mark Swenson, is an experienced institutional investor responsible for successfully managing a term of investment professionals with accountability for over $60 billion of assets across a wide array of asset classes for Thrivent Financial, a Fortune 500 diversified financial services organization. Assets included a multi-billion dollar private equity portfolio that invested in private equity funds, and also directly in private businesses through a co-investment program.
Earlier in his career Mark worked for Prudential Financial where he was part of a team responsible for a large institutional portfolio of agriculture assets. He has also worked at a predecessor to Wells Fargo where he was involved in lending to the agriculture industry. Mark received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Minnesota, and an MBA from Northwestern University. He is also a CFA charter holder.
