Muzinich & Co has appointed John Clifford to its European private debt team.
Based in London, Clifford will be focused on origination and deal sourcing in the UK lower mid-market. John has over a decade of experience in UK mid-market lending. Previous roles include Managing Director in Investec Bank’s Growth and Acquisition Finance division and a Partner at independent corporate finance boutique Livingstone Partners.
“Private debt continues to be an ever more accepted and utilised funding solution in the UK and across continental European markets,” says Grant Davidson, Co-Head of Private Debt UK. “John’s expertise, network and experience in the UK and European market will prove invaluable as we continue to provide flexible financing solutions to SMEs to fund their organic and acquisition-led growth activities.”
Muzinich’s approach to private debt focuses on the lower end of the mid-market (EUR5-25million EBITDA), and the firm has six private lending vehicles in Europe.
