Benson Elliot has appointed Trish Barrigan as managing partner, effective 1 January 2018.
Marc Mogull will transition from his current role as managing partner to executive chairman and chief investment officer.
Barrigan, who co-founded Benson Elliot with Mogull in 2006, will work alongside Joseph de Leo, senior partner, and James Jakeman, partner, who will jointly oversee the investment portfolio under her direction.
The firm also announced that partner Philipp Braschel, who has been co-heading the company’s operations in German-speaking countries alongside Georg Strassner, is to leave the company.
De Leo will take over as partner responsible for the company’s activities in Germany, working alongside teams in Munich and London.
Mogull said: “This is a talent-driven business, and I’m proud of the team of skilled professionals we’ve assembled and developed at Benson Elliot. Trish has been a critical part of that team since we set up the business together, and she’s been a key contributor to the firm’s success.”
Barrigan added: “I remain excited by the opportunities we continue to see across Europe, and I look forward to taking our business into the future alongside our investors and this great Benson Elliot team.”
