The Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of The RBB Fund Complex (“RBB”), a pioneer of the independent series trust, are pleased to announce the appointment of Gene Podsiadlo as the initial member of a newly created Advisory Board to RBB, effective October 1, 2025. RBB has experienced rapid growth, directly benefiting from the expanding ETF marketplace, including the active ETF market. The complex continues to demonstrate industry leadership including facilitating the first known 351 conversion into an ETF and filing the first exemptive application requesting the ability to have mutual fund share classes added to existing ETFs.

Podsiadlo has held senior officer and Board positions in both public financial companies and registered investment companies, most recently as Director, The Wasatch Funds, and its investment advisor, Wasatch Advisors, where he was a partner and member of the Board of Directors for 15 years. He is currently a Senior Advisor to both Cross Creek Ventures and AI Capital Ventures. Additionally, he has served on the Audit Committee of two public companies, as well as a Managing Director/Partner at Warburg Pincus & Co. and was President of Warburg Pincus Funds.

“We look forward to Gene’s experience in assisting and supporting RBB’s growth,” said Steve Plump, CEO and President of RBB. “Gene’s knowledge and familiarity of the ’40 Act is a perfect fit for our Board.”

RBB’s vision is to build upon its forward-thinking approach as an industry leader in assisting managers in bringing their funds to market. Adding Podsiadlo and his years of experience, solidifies the RBB team for years to come.

“It’s an honor to join the RBB board during a time of changing tides in the ‘40 Act space,” said Podsiadlo. “RBB has been an industry innovator and leader for more than 35 years, and I look forward to helping build the next era of innovation and leadership as the industry continues to evolve.”

The Board has established an Advisory Board, whose members serve in a consultative capacity, providing non-binding advice regarding oversight of the affairs of the Funds. This newly designed structure provides RBB with the ability to support the growth of a rapidly growing ETF industry.

“The creation of the Advisory Board allows us to continue our growth and pursuit of providing the best possible service to new and existing clients at a time where ETF product growth is continually reaching all-time highs,” stated Arnold Reichman, Chairman of RBB.
