Global real assets fund manager Patrizia has appointed Gus Wiseman as director of UK product to support the firm’s expansion across real estate, impact and infrastructure.
Wiseman joins from the UK government, where he was most recently global head of investor relations at the Office for Investment. In this role, he helped shape the UK’s investment strategy and was an architect of the Sterling 20 initiative, designed to mobilise domestic pension capital into infrastructure, housing and private markets.
At Patrizia, Wiseman will lead the UK capital development strategy, focusing on expanding investor relationships to scale the firm’s footprint in social housing, regeneration and social infrastructure. He will also leverage his public policy expertise to manage strategic engagement across the UK investment ecosystem.
Simon Redman, global head of product at Patrizia, said: “Gus brings exceptional insight into how government, policy and institutional capital interact. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to scale our UK platform, develop new investment strategies and deepen partnerships across the investment ecosystem.
“This is a highly strategic appointment that strengthens our ability to deliver long-term solutions for investors in areas such as housing, infrastructure and regeneration.”
Wiseman said: “Patrizia has established a highly differentiated real assets platform, with a strong focus on impact, sustainability and long-term value creation. The opportunity to help connect public policy objectives with private capital at scale is compelling, particularly across housing, infrastructure and social investment.
“I look forward to working with the team to support Patrizia’s continued growth in the UK and to help shape investment strategies that deliver both strong returns and meaningful outcomes.”
