Maven Capital Partners, the Scotland-based asset manager, has appointed Ewan MacKinnon as managing partner to succeed Bill Nixon who becomes chair.
The change of senior leadership is part of a planned succession strategy and ensures long term continuity for investors, portfolio companies and other stakeholders.
Mr MacKinnon has been a senior member of the Maven team since 2009 and has been integral to its growth and regional expansion over that time.
He has led numerous transactions across multiple sectors, played a key role in the development of Maven’s product offering and, over the last seven years, has deputised for Mr Nixon as fund manager for the Maven VCTs.
In 2009, Mr Nixon led the management buyout of Aberdeen Asset Management’s private equity division, establishing Maven as an independent firm.
Since then, the business has evolved into a diversified alternative asset manager with national reach and operating from 11 UK offices, employing more than 120 professionals. It has invested more than £1 billion in about 600 businesses.
