Blum Capital Partners, an investment firm active in investing in both privately structured investments as well as blocks of publicly traded securities, has hired Peter Westley and Carol Fu in its investment team as partner and associate, respectively.
Westley was previously a managing director at Salomon Smith Barney and a partner at ThinkEquity Partners. Most recently, he was a partner at North Point Advisors, an investment banking firm specialising in mergers and acquisitions.
“It is a privilege to be joining the firm,” says Westley. “Richard Blum’s long-term track record as a strategic financial investor is outstanding. His work as a philanthropist is equally impressive. I am also pleased to be joining Jane Su, who I have known and respected as an investor for more than 20 years. I look forward to working with Richard, Jane, and the rest of the team at Blum Capital, to take advantage of future investment opportunities on behalf of the firm’s investors.”
Fu was a senior analyst at Maverick Capital in New York City and San Francisco where she identified investment opportunities and conducted research within the industrial and energy sectors. Her experience also includes positions at Blackstone Group, Merrill Lynch and HSBC Securities, all based in Hong Kong, and at UBS in London.
“We are fortunate to have professionals as accomplished as Peter and Carol join our team,” says Jane Su (pictured), co-managing partner at Blum Capital.
