Caledonian Global Fund Services has appointed John Peterson as head of sales and marketing in the US for its Chicago-based subsidiary, Caledonian Fund Services (USA), with responsibility for expanding Caledonian’s sales and marketing efforts in primary hedge fund markets across the country.
Peterson brings experience from the hedge fund side of the business in investor relations and capital-raising, as well as from the fund services side as the former principal of a Chicago-based fund administration firm.
‘John is a key addition to our team at an exciting stage of our evolution,’ says Jim Gabriele, managing director of Caledonian Fund Services (USA). ‘His well-rounded experience and successful track record will be vital to Caledonian in formalising our marketing and sales efforts in the US.’

He is well known in the industry and brings over 15-years experience to the Caledonian team in such an important role. We believe that this is yet another step in the right direction as we seek to deliver unparalleled client service and solutions to managers of hedge funds and funds of funds.’
