Frazier Healthcare Partners has expanded its investment team with the promotion of Philip Zaorski and the addition of Ryan Lucero to the firm’s growth buyout team.
“We are proud to recognise the achievements of Phil Zaorski with this well-deserved promotion,” says Ben Magnano, General Partner. “During his tenure with Frazier, Phil has proven himself to be an important member of our team and an invaluable resource for our portfolio companies. We are also thrilled that Mr Lucero has chosen to join Frazier as he is a well-respected professional with extensive experience in middle-market private equity. We look forward to the contributions of Phil and Ryan as we continue to seek new investment opportunities and work with our existing portfolio companies to accelerate growth and increase value.”
Zaorski joined Frazier as an associate in 2012 and has broad experience in growth buyout investing in all sectors of healthcare including multi-site provider services, outsourced provider and payor services, medical products and distribution, and pharmaceutical services. Prior to Frazier, he worked for RBC Capital Markets in its healthcare investment banking group based in New York.
Lucero comes to Frazier after five years with Kohlberg and Company in New York where he focused on leveraged buyout and growth equity investments. At Kohlberg, he was responsible for the origination, evaluation, and management of investments across a variety of sectors, including healthcare, business services, and financial services. Previously, Lucero worked for JP Morgan in the Investment Banking Division in New York.
