Conflict-of-interest disclosure: I am an employee of Tanner Ainge, the subject of this article, and requesting this on his behalf. Per WP:COI I am not editing the article directly and am instead requesting the following changes, each supported by independent sources. I'd be grateful if an uninvolved editor would review them.
1. Update the lead
editProposed revised first paragraph:
Tanner Ainge (born December 15, 1983) is an American businessman and former politician. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Banner Capital Management, a lower middle market private equity firm based in the Salt Lake City area, and previously served as a Utah County Commissioner from 2019 to 2021.
2. Add a "Business career" section
editProposed new section (suggested placement: before the political career material):
Ainge is the founder and CEO of Banner Capital Management, a private equity firm focused on founder-led and family-owned businesses in the Intermountain West that generate $4 million to $15 million in EBITDA.[1] The firm manages approximately $630 million in assets.[1]
In 2025, Banner closed Banner Capital Fund I, a continuation fund with more than $400 million in commitments led by Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE), and launched Banner Capital Fund II, a lower middle market buyout fund targeting $200 million.[2][3] In 2026, GCM Grosvenor became an anchor investor in Fund II as part of a strategic partnership.[1]
Banner's investments have included the carpet-cleaning franchisor Zerorez,[4] the asphalt-maintenance platform Western Pavement Services,[5] and the e-commerce firm Pattern Group, which filed for a U.S. initial public offering in 2025.[6]
3. Update the infobox photograph
editPlease set the infobox image to the freely licensed photograph hosted on Wikimedia Commons at File:Tanner Ainge 2026.png (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tanner_Ainge_2026.png), licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, VRT permission submitted. Suggested infobox parameters:
| image = Tanner Ainge 2026.png | caption = Ainge in 2026

- Follow-up to request #1 (revised lead). Please replace the proposed lead paragraph in item 1 above with the following:
- Tanner Ainge (born December 15, 1983) is an American businessman and former public official who has served as a Utah County Commissioner and on the Governor's Economic Development Board for the State of Utah. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Banner Capital Management, a lower middle market private equity firm with more than $600 million in assets under management. Ainge is also a member of the Utah Army National Guard. He ran an unsuccessful primary race for the U.S. House 3rd Congressional District of Utah against former Provo mayor John Curtis in 2017, but he won the Utah County Commissioner election the following year.
- The county commissioner and Governor's Economic Development Board statements are supported by the sources already cited in the article; the assets-under-management figure is supported by the Wall Street Journal source cited in the proposed Business career section (Kreutzer, June 25, 2026). Ncolindres (talk) 04:41, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
- Follow-up: infobox and photograph.
- Infobox: The infobox still presents Ainge as the sitting officeholder ("Incumbent", "Assumed office January 7, 2019"). As his term as Utah County Commissioner ended in 2021, could an uninvolved editor update the infobox so it no longer lists him as the incumbent — for example, adding a term-end date of 2021 (and a successor if one is on record) — consistent with the revised lead proposed above.
- Photograph: The image change in item 3 above (setting the infobox image to File:Tanner Ainge 2026.png, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0) is a straightforward, uncontroversial update. The file's VRT permission has been submitted and can be verified on Wikimedia Commons; I would be grateful if a reviewer would apply the image once satisfied with the licensing.
