A legacy of leadership, carried forward

Long before Penrose was established, Billy Rosenthal had spent decades building businesses, developing operational expertise, and forming relationships that would shape the family's approach to business and investment. His career in the food industry reinforced a simple belief: lasting success comes from investing in people as much as performance. That philosophy became the foundation for Penrose and continues to influence how it evaluates opportunities and approaches growth.

Today, Ashli Rosenthal Blumenfeld and Ben Rosenthal serve as Co-Presidents of Standard Meat Company, continuing the family’s active role in the business. As Penrose has expanded across investments, partnerships, and philanthropic initiatives, it has remained grounded in the day-to-day work of building and growing enduring businesses alongside the people who lead them. That perspective informs a forward-looking orientation, guided by long-term thinking, shared ambition, and a focus on opportunities that reflect their values and priorities.
