Campbell Lutyens has appointed Sir Peter Westmacott – former British Ambassador to Washington – to the firm’s advisory board.
The advisory board, which was established at the formation of Campbell Lutyens 28 years ago, comprises a small number of distinguished thinkers who provide perspective and support to the executive team, which comprises over 90 full-time members operating from offices in London, New York and Hong Kong.
Westmacott says: "I have known John Campbell for well over 20 years and have followed with interest over that time the growth of Campbell Lutyens and the fields of private equity, debt and private infrastructure. At a time when traditional investment in public equities and bonds is failing to meet the needs of pension funds, insurance companies and other investors, the role of alternative investment is becoming increasingly important.
“I look forward to working with the Campbell Lutyens team to promote the opportunities represented by private equity and private infrastructure to investors and the community at large, and to adding my understanding of global political, social and economic realities to the work of my talented new colleagues; infrastructure lies at the root of economic development and social progress.''
John Campbell, chairman of Campbell Lutyens, says: "It is a great honour for Campbell Lutyens that Sir Peter has agreed to join our advisory board. His distinguished period of public service and his wide range of sensibilities on the political and economic realities of world affairs will be very valuable to us and to our clients.”
