Private investment firm Rcapital has appointed Phil Emmerson as Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Emmerson, who joins from BDO, will be primarily responsible for running Rcapital’s portfolio of investments from March 2015.
Emmerson brings 18 years’ experience in the area of operational and financial restructuring, initially at KPMG before leading BDO’s midlands regional company side restructuring team. Most recently, Phil has been working in BDO’s London office.
Jamie Constable, Rcapital CEO, says: “ We are delighted that Phil has chosen to join the team at Rcapital. His skills will be a great benefit to us in the current climate, where we are incredibly busy with both the buy side and sell side”.
Peter Ward, Rcapital Partner, says: “Phil is a welcome addition to the team. For some time now we have realised additional senior resource is essential for us to respond to the growing number of opportunities we are seeing in the marketplace, alongside the managing of our existing portfolio of investments”.
Emmerson says: “It was too good an opportunity to pass up, and I am really excited at the prospect of working with the team and getting to grips with the challenges that will follow, taking my career in a different direction."
