 Buy-out firm Permira will open an office in Tokyo to cover the Japanese market. The firm says that it is strongly committed to Japan's private equity market, and that it sees significant opportunities in the country.
Permira has appointed Tomoya Shiraishi as the president of the newly formed Permira Advisers KK. Tomoya joins Permira from Japanese private equity firm JAFCO Co., where most recently he held the position of group officer of JAFCO's buy-out investment division, which he founded in 1998.
Shiraishi, said, 'The opening of a new office in Tokyo represents an exciting opportunity for Permira. I am delighted to be joining a firm with such a strong reputation and potential for international growth. I look forward to building on Permira's commitment to the important Japanese market.'
Guido Paolo Gamucci, chairman of Permira Advisers KK and a member of Permira's Operating Committee, commented, 'Japan's private equity market represents an attractive growth opportunity for Permira and we look forward to creating a successful business in the region.'
'Tomoya Shiraishi's extensive experience in the local private equity market will prove invaluable and we all look forward to working with him as part of the global Permira network,' Gamucci added.
The Tokyo office will be Permira's eighth international office. The other offices are in Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, New York, Paris and Stockholm.
Permira is owned and controlled by its partners and consists of 90 professionals.
