Siris, a private equity firm focused on investing and driving value creation in technology companies, has appointed Vipul Tandon as a Managing Director and Head of Credit Opportunities.
In his new role, Tandon will look to capitalise on meaningful opportunities to invest in structured credit and junior capital in the technology industry.
Credit Opportunities is a natural extension of Siris’ research-driven sourcing model and its value and operational approach to technology investing. The team will leverage the Siris team’s industry knowledge and investing expertise, as well as the Siris Executive Partners’ operational experience.
Tandon has more than 26 years of experience in the investing industry. He was previously a Senior Managing Director with Soros Fund Management, where he spent 12 years and helped to lead a significant number of structured, non-control transactions. Prior to Soros, Tandon helped to launch the Special Situations Group of American Capital Strategies. He began his career with DLJ Merchant Banking Partners and also served in investing and operating roles with Trace International, Frontline Capital Group and Foamex International.
Tandon will work closely with Stephen Catera, a Siris Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets, to build the Credit Opportunities team.
