Jessica Hans joined Silver Creek Capital Management, an alternative investment boutique focused on developing investment solutions for investors globally, as a managing director. Most recently, Hans served as investment director at UC Investments, focusing on the endowments and retirement plans of the University of California. At Silver Creek, Hans will focus on investments across non-corporate debt and real assets as the firm seeks to strategically grow its private credit and real assets portfolios. She will also serve as a member of the firm’s investment committee and real assets investment committee.
“Jessica’s significant expertise in alternative investment sourcing, due diligence and portfolio construction, coupled with her strong network of institutional relationships globally, will be invaluable to Silver Creek as we continue to expand our private credit and real assets capabilities,” Eric Dillon, CEO and chief investment officer of Silver Creek, said. “To attract an executive of Jessica’s caliber to the Silver Creek team is a testament to the Firm and history we have built – grounded in collaboration, diversity of perspectives and a prudent approach to investment management – over the last three decades. We are thrilled to welcome Jessica to Silver Creek as we seek to continue to develop tailored investment solutions that meet the needs of our global clientele.”
“As an individual with a passion for supporting mission-driven institutions, joining Silver Creek – well-recognized for delivering high quality service not only to its investors but also to its community – was the ideal next step in my career,” Hans said. “I look forward to working closely alongside the entire team to execute on opportunities across the credit and real assets spectrums that we believe have the highest potential for outperformance and low correlation to major markets.”
Hans brings nearly 20 years of investing, investment banking and capital markets experience to Silver Creek. While at UC Investments, which managed $168 billion of assets as of Sept. 30, 2022, she was a senior member of the investment team and managed investment portfolios across alternative asset classes, including private equity, real assets and private credit. Earlier in her career, she held roles at The Blackstone Group, Credit Suisse Securities and Bain & Company.
