Kartesia, the pan-European specialist provider of financing solutions for mid-market companies, has appointed Duncan Browne as Head of Investor Relations, effective 8 May 2025.
Based in London, Browne will report directly to Managing Partner Laurent Bouvier and collaborate closely with Xavier Bertrand, Head of Private Wealth Solutions.
Browne joins from Arrow Global, where he served as Head of Investor Relations since 2017. During his tenure, he was instrumental in Arrow’s transformation into a leading European private markets fund manager, with a focus on capital raising, investor engagement, and strategic product development.
His appointment comes at a pivotal time for Kartesia, as the firm approaches the final close of its sixth-generation Credit Opportunities fund. The vehicle has already attracted commitments from a mix of long-standing LPs and new investors, reflecting sustained confidence in Kartesia’s investment strategy and performance.
With €7bn in assets under management, Kartesia operates as an independent and privately-owned platform, delivering bespoke capital solutions across the capital structure to support the growth ambitions of leading mid-market businesses.
The firm is led by three founding Managing Partners and employs a team of 115 professionals across its offices in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, Munich, and Paris.
