Angus Dodd is to replace Max James as chief executive of Quintain.
Dodd, the current chairman of the company, and senior managing director and co-head of European real estate at Lone Star, will take over on 27 June.
He will step down from his current position at Lone Star but will retain a number of board positions.
The move follows Lone Star’s £645m take private of Quintain, which was engineered by Dodd, in October last year.
