Nic Humphries, Senior Partner, with overall responsibility for the Firm commented:
“In our 25 years as a leading private equity investor, HgCapital has combined the development of its own team with the recruitment of the industry’s finest talent. These promotions and new appointments put us in a strong position for the next decade, having already established a unique and differentiated position among European buyout firms for our expertise and track record in software, tech-enabled services and adjacent sectors.
