London-based private credit manager NorthWall Capital has promoted Artem Kontyaev, Scott Carpenter and Garrett Holmes to partner, effective immediately, in a move that expands its senior leadership team as the firm continues to scale its European alternative credit platform.
The promotions span both investment and operational functions and come as NorthWall manages more than €3bn in assets under management across long-dated funds focused on Western European private credit opportunities.
The firm said the appointments reflect sustained leadership, cultural contribution and execution across the platform, and are intended to strengthen its partnership structure as it enters its next phase of growth.
Kontyaev, one of NorthWall’s earliest employees, has spent nearly eight years at the firm and plays a central role in sourcing and executing transactions across Western Europe. He leads deal teams within the Credit Opportunities and Tactical Credit strategies and has been instrumental in scaling the firm’s investment capabilities.
Holmes, who has been with NorthWall for more than seven years, has a cross-functional remit spanning legal oversight, investment activity and the firm’s US presence. He has helped develop the firm’s Legal Assets strategy and serves as acting general counsel while also heading its New York office.
Carpenter joined NorthWall as chief operating officer in 2024 and oversees the firm’s operational infrastructure, including fund administration, compliance, technology, finance, legal and human resources. The firm said his elevation reflects the importance of operational scalability as NorthWall expands.
Founder and chief investment officer Fabian Chrobog said the promotions recognise individuals who have consistently demonstrated leadership and alignment with the firm’s values, adding that broadening the partnership base will support greater delegation and long-term institutional development.
