Paul Christopher is retiring as non-executive director of HarbourVest Global Private Equity (HVPE) and is being replaced on the board by Alan Hodson, effective 30 April 2013.
Christopher (pictured) joined the board in October 2007.
Sir Michael Bunbury, chairman of the board, says: “The board of HarbourVest Global Private Equity is very pleased that Alan Hodson has agreed to become a director. His deep experience of listed markets will be very valuable in helping to guide the future development of the company.”
Hodson is chairman of Blackrock Commodities Income Investment Trust and a director of JP Morgan Elect. He is also chairman of Triodos New Horizons and of the board of special trustees of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
Hodson joined Rowe and Pitman (subsequently SG Warburg, SBC and UBS) in 1984 and worked in a range of roles, all related to listed equity markets. He became global head of equities in April 2001 and was a member of the executive committee of UBS Investment Bank and of the UBS AG group managing board. He retired from UBS in June 2005 and has since held positions on a variety of commercial and charity boards.
