Benson Elliot, the UK-based private equity real estate fund manager, has announced a number of management changes, effective from 1 January 2018.
Marc Mogull will transition from his current role as managing partner to executive chairman and chief investment officer. Trish Barrigan, who co-founded Benson Elliot with Mogull in 2006, will take on the position of managing partner.
Joseph de Leo, senior partner, and James Jakeman, partner, will jointly oversee the investment portfolio under Trish’s direction.
'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,' commented Mogull. 'Managing the firm and the funds, whilst simultaneously acting as CIO and fiduciary-in-chief, is too big a job for any individual.'
Barrigan added: 'Today’s announcement sets out a clear path for the future management of the Benson Elliot business. I look forward to taking our business into the future alongside our investors.'
