 Advent International has added four new members to its Boston-based North American deal team. Mohammed Anjarwala joins as principal, and Nicholas Pike, Christopher Ryan and Sarah Smith as associates.
Anjarwala brings industry experience from his years at SFW Capital Partners and Bain Capital Partners. Serving as principal at Advent's North American operation, he will focus on buy-out opportunities in the industrial sector.
Pike joins from UBS Investment Bank, Ryan comes from The Parthenon Group, and Smith joins Advent from McKinsey & Company. All three associates will join sector-focused deal teams, specifically business and financial services, industrial, and retail and consumer.
The North American deal team now numbers over 20 investment professionals. These additions should strengthen the deal making capacity of the team in the North American marketplace.
All four appointments support the ongoing activity of Advent's $3.3bn GPE buy-out programme, which invests primarily in North America and Western Europe.
David Mussafer, managing director and head of Advent International, North America, said, 'Our global buy-out team of 110 investment professionals is one of the largest and most experienced in the industry. These appointments bring the North American team count to over 20 adding tremendous buy-out and sector expertise while bolstering our deal-making capacity in North America.'
Advent's recent transactions in North America include the IPO of lululemon athletica, a designer and retailer of technical athletic apparel in North America; the IPO of Boart Longyear, a provider of drilling services and products; and the acquisition of Sophis, a provider of cross-asset, front-to-back portfolio and risk management solutions, led by the French deal team in close collaboration with their US counterparts.
