Palatine Announces Trio of Promotions

Palatine, the sustainably driven mid-market investor, has announced three promotions across its team.

Matt Cobbold and Greta Steponaviciute have been promoted to Strategic Growth Directors within the Value Enhancement Team. Matt and Greta oversea and support management teams across the Buyout and Impact Fund portfolios to identify, prioritise and execute value creation initiatives

Janita Afzal has also been promoted from Office Administrator to Junior PA.

The promotions follow a successful year across Palatine’s two established Fund strategies, Buyout and Impact, along with the launch of their pioneering Growth Credit Fund, raised to address the imbalance in the availability of growth capital for high-growth technology-driven companies in the UK regions.

Gary Tipper, Group Managing Partner at Palatine said: “Our people are pivotal to our business and we are immensely proud of the hard work these individuals have put in across the past 12 months. Their demonstrable dedication and contributions have led to these wholly deserved promotions and we are looking forward to another strong year of value creation and generating sustainable returns for our investors.

“Our pipeline for new deals is the strongest it has been in the last 12 months, with attractive opportunities for both our Buyout and Impact funds.

“We are expecting a strong year of activity for the Growth Credit fund, which is stepping into the gap for fast-growing, regionally based technology-focused businesses looking to scale at pace without further equity dilution. The team have a very strong pipeline.”
