Energy Investors Funds, an established private equity fund manager that invests in the U.Senergy and electric power sector, has added two professionals to its growing team.

Warren MacGillivray has joined EIF as Senior Vice President in the Asset Management group of the Boston office and Jason Kahan has joined EIF as Associate in the New York office.

Mr MacGillivray brings over 20 years of broad energy industry experience to EIF.  He was most recently with GE Energy Financial Services in Stamford, CT, where he served as a Senior Vice President in a variety of commercial roles, including lead underwriter, portfolio manager and technical advisor. Prior to that, he worked at GE Power Systems progressing through their O&M business, providing start-up, operations and business development leadership.

‘We are delighted that Warren has decided to bring his extensive experience and capabilities to EIF,’ says Mark Segel, Partner in EIF’s Boston office.  ‘As our firm’s portfolios of US power and transmission assets continue to grow, along with the size of our funds, the addition of a senior industry professional such as Warren will augment and enhance our existing asset management team.’

The new hires closely follow EIF’s recent successful closing of the firm’s seventh and largest institutional fund to date, the United States Power Fund III, LP, with USD1.35 billion in commitments.
 
‘My affiliation with one of the leading private equity firms in the US power sector is a tremendous opportunity for me to bring my energy experience and asset management skills to bear as we look to invest our newest fund and ensure the greatest possible returns to our investors,’ says MacGillivray.  ‘I’m looking forward to working with the team and helping to drive the continuing success of EIF for its investors.’
 
Kahan joins EIF from Citigroup, where he spent two years as an Analyst in the Investment Banking Power Group. Previously, he worked for SG Barr Devlin on power & utility M&A transactions and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004. 
 
‘We are excited to have two seasoned power industry professionals join the firm who can hit the ground running,’ says Andrew Schroeder, Senior Partner in EIF’s New York office.

John Buehler, Managing Partner in EIF’s San Francisco office, adds: ‘Over the past two decades, EIF’s cumulative success can be attributed to the tremendous effort and remarkable achievements of our EIF professionals. We’re pleased to welcome Warren and Jason to the team.’
