Jensen Partners, an executive search and corporate advisory firm for the alternative investment management industry, has appointed George Lewis as a Managing Director in the firm’s London office.

He will also be responsible for private markets and alternative investments funds coverage.
With more than 15 years of experience leading senior level search and assessment projects in Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific regions, Lewis has worked with a broad spectrum of infrastructure funds, asset managers and private equity funds.
“George is a well-known player in our industry and be brings with him an unmatched level of specialist knowledge about global infrastructure investing and private placements,” says Sasha Jensen, Founder and CEO of Jensen Partners. “He will be a key asset to the Jensen Partners team and our infrastructure practice, and his breadth of experience will allow us to continue to meet growing client demands in Europe.”
“This is a tremendous opportunity to join Jensen Partners at an important inflection point both for the business and for the larger alternative investment landscape. I look forward to working closely with Peter Mayer in building out the European private market teams and the Jensen Partners practice,” adds Lewis.
