Constitution Capital Partners (CCP), a private equity firm focused on North American small to mid-cap buyouts, has appointed Daniel Clare as a partner and head of the firm’s new office in New York.
Clare brings over 20 years of industry experience, having most recently worked as a managing director at Ascribe Capital, formerly known as American Securities Opportunities Fund, which invests in the debt and equity securities of middle-market companies.
Along with his private equity experience, Clare also served in the consulting and investment banking industries.
Clare, who will focus on building out CCP’s newly established credit business, will have overall responsibility for the New York office and will report directly to co-managing partners Daniel M. Cahill and John J Guinee.
“Dan is a terrific addition to our team from both a business and a cultural standpoint,” says Cahill. "We searched for and considered many other qualified candidates, but Dan inevitably set himself apart as the leader we need to expand our business offerings and enhance our relationships within the middle market.”
Guinee says: “Along with his impressive background and successful investment experience, Dan’s quality of character and credibility within the industry make him an ideal fit for our firm. We welcome Dan to CCP and look forward to his future contributions to our existing portfolio and evaluation of new investments.”
Clare says: “I am thrilled to be joining the CCP team and am eager to begin implementing the firm’s strategy for the New York office. CCP has worked diligently to establish a top-tier reputation and I very much look forward to helping execute on strategic investment opportunities and to build upon the firm’s strong history.”
