Andrew Winston Stroud serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer of Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. V (NASDAQ: FVAV), a role he has held since November 2025. He shares the co-CEO title with Micah B. Kaplan, while Andrew A. McKnight serves as Chairman. The SPAC, incorporated in 2025 and based in New York, NY, priced its IPO on February 26, 2026, raising $250 million by offering 25 million shares at $10.00 each. Unlike most SPACs, FVAV offered shares rather than units with warrants or rights attached. Deutsche Bank served as sole bookrunner on the deal, which was filed confidentially on December 23, 2025. As of the latest filings, FVAV remains in a pre-deal status, seeking a business combination.
Professionally, Stroud has been a Managing Director at Fortress Investment Group since July 2025 and serves as a Co-Portfolio Manager within Fortress's Credit Funds business. Fortress is a leading, highly diversified global investment management firm with approximately $54.1 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025, serving approximately 2,000 institutional clients and private investors worldwide. The firm's primary business is sponsoring the formation of and providing investment management services for various investment funds, permanent capital vehicles, and related managed accounts. Fortress has sponsored several blank check companies, and FVAV is the sixth such vehicle from Fortress executives.
The broader Fortress SPAC franchise has a notable track record. Prior Fortress Value Acquisition vehicles include Fortress Value Acquisition I, which merged with MP Materials (NYSE: MP) in 2020 and had returned approximately +523% from its $10 offer price; Fortress Value Acquisition II, which merged with ATI Physical Therapy in 2021; and Fortress Value Acquisition III and IV, both of which liquidated in 2022. Stroud's SPAC team also includes Chief Financial Officer John A. Konawalik, who has served as Fortress's Chief Accounting Officer since 2010.
Stroud's LinkedIn profile indicates he attended Columbia Business School and is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Beyond his Fortress and FVAV roles, the available sources do not provide additional details on his prior career history, specific educational degrees, or other board seats.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002102724 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 6 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 5 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
