Alain Rauscher, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, said: “The appointments we are announcing today aim to ensure efficient decision-making across the firm. Stéphane Ifker and Angelika Schöchlin have long played a key role at Antin, and their appointment as co-Chief Investment Officer is both a formalization of their positions and a recognition of their outstanding contribution, leadership and strategic insight and of the value they deliver.
We’re also delighted to welcome Ryan Shockley and Guillaume Friedel as co-heads of our New York office. Their expertise and experience are strong assets as we continue to develop our franchise. We’d like to thank Kevin Genieser for his strong contribution to Antin over the past several years and for his leadership of the New York office. He has built a team that is now recognized as a key player in the infrastructure space and is well positioned to continue seizing growth opportunities. And we’re also pleased that Anand Jagannathan is assuming leadership of our NextGen strategy following Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet’s decision, in agreement with Antin, to step down to devote herself to new personal and professional projects. We warmly thank Nathalie for her many contributions and know Anand, together with the NextGen Partners, will keep building on the solid foundations that have been laid.”
