Patron Capital has appointed Mal Hunt as senior partner and head of investor relations and strategic partnerships.
Hunt, who has more than 20 years’ of industry experience, joins Patron from bfinance. Prior to that, he was executive director of EMEA client coverage at MSCI and enjoyed stints at Investment Property Databank (IPD), M&G and Bank of Ireland.
In his new role, he will work closely with Patron’s senior team to further strengthen and develop its work with a diverse range of clients and partners.
Keith Breslauer, managing director and founder of Patron Capital, said: “Mal joins us at an exciting moment in Patron’s 25-year history, having recently closed our seventh flagship fund, which demonstrated our position as a trusted investor through the proportion of re-ups, as well as our ability to raise an investment volume consistent with our previous funds.
“Mal’s impressive track record in investment and client service over the last 20 years aligns well with Patron’s experience and our ambitions for the future. His appointment underlines our long-term growth aspirations and commitment to best-in-class communication with both existing and potential investors.”
Hunt added: “This is an excellent opportunity to work with Patron’s specialist teams, partners and global investor base. It’s also an exciting time to be joining, as the current European market conditions present a prime environment for Patron, given their innovative, granular approach, proven platform, and well-respected track record. I look forward to working closely with Keith and my new colleagues to build long-term partnerships and drive significant value for Patron’s investors.”
