William E. McGlashan Jr. (born November 20, 1963) is an American businessman and former private equity investor. McGlashan founded TPG Growth,[1] the growth equity and smaller buyout investment arm of TPG Capital, a global private equity investment firm.[2] He is also a founder and was the initial-CEO of The Rise Fund, a social impact fund he co-founded with Bono and Jeffrey Skoll.[3]

McGlashan is a co-founder and a former board member of STX Entertainment, an American film and television studio launched in 2014 with Robert Simonds,[4] and a cofounder and director of Evolution Media Capital.[5]

McGlashan was arrested on March 12, 2019, after being caught on FBI audio recordings, for participating in a college admissions bribery scandal. He was then fired for cause by TPG. He pled guilty in February 2021 to paying William "Rick" Singer to fix his son's test score.[6] In May 2021, McGlashan was ordered to undergo a sentence which includes three months in prison and a $250,000 fine.[7]
