Aurelius Growth Capital, the Private Equity Growth segment of Aurelius, has appointed Richard Glatzel as Partner with responsibility for driving operational improvements in the company’s new portfolio companies.
As CEO, Glatzel also recently led the successful transformation of European Imaging Group (EIG), an Aurelius portfolio company.
Glatzel’s involvement with Aurelius began 11 years ago as a Manager in Aurelius Operations Advisory. Since then, he has supported several portfolio companies, including roles as interim CFO, COO, and CEO, before ultimately building the business of EIG as CEO.
In his new role, Glatzel will contribute to the continued strong development of Aurelius Growth Capital, working alongside Eric Blumenthal to advise incoming portfolio companies on their journeys.
Aurelius Growth Capital has grown rapidly in recent years, investing in successful, owner-managed medium-sized companies. In addition to providing capital for investments, it supports the management of its portfolio companies with extensive entrepreneurial experience, helping to unlock operational potential and realise planned growth.
Following two exits, the current portfolio of Aurelius Growth Capital comprises 16 investments, with the most recent additions being fleet services group aribos and heat pump and solar specialist iKratos.
