Patron has appointed Fraser Greenshields as senior partner to enhance deal sourcing and support the next phase of the firm’s growth.
Greenshields joins Patron from EY where he was managing partner, corporate finance. Prior to that, he had a career in banking at Royal Bank of Scotland with responsibility for lending and investing across multiple sectors.
In his new role, Greenshields will work closely with Patron founder Keith Breslauer and the firm’s senior partners to help identify and execute investment opportunities, advise on the firm’s largest and most complex transactions and develop strategic partnerships with managers and investment specialists.
Breslauer said: “We welcome Fraser to the business. For close to three decades, Patron has built its reputation as one of Europe’s leading value‑add real estate investors. We are evolving that heritage to become a broader, best-in-class European investment platform, expanding our investment capabilities in new strategies and sub-sectors of the market. Patron’s newly launched business in real estate credit is one example of this. Fraser brings the experience, calibre and network to help drive this next phase and deliver on our long-term vision.”
Geenshields added: “I have known and worked with Keith and his partners at Patron for close to 20 years. As Patron embarks on the next stage of its evolution, with the strong backing of MEGP, I am excited to be joining to help drive the next phase of long-term growth.”
