GMT Communications Partners, a European independent private equity group focused exclusively on the communications sector, has made two senior promotions.
Natalie Tydeman (pictured) has been promoted to partner and Vikram Krishna has been promoted to principal.
Tydeman joined GMT in 2007 as a senior adviser and has over ten years’ experience in digital and traditional media. She was previously at Fremantle Media where she was senior vice president, business diversification.
Krishna joined GMT in 2005 as a portfolio reporting analyst. He was promoted to associate in 2006 and to senior associate in 2009. Krishna was formerly a manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, focusing on due diligence and traditional audit assignments for private equity clients.
Jeff Montgomery, managing partner, GMT, says: “We are delighted with Natalie and Vikram’s promotions, which are a reflection of their commitment and expertise, and are both highly deserved. While the overall private equity landscape has been muted in recent months, the European communications sector is continuing to present some excellent investment opportunities. Our focus remains on high growth companies that can build a sustainable, protected market position, and we are seeing many, high quality businesses that are managing to achieve this, despite the recent economic uncertainty. We plan to continue growing our team as the year progresses.”
