European private credit asset manager Pemberton appointed Scott Hamilton managing director for North American business development. Hamilton will lead institutional client coverage and consultant relations for Pemberton’s European private debt strategies in the U.S. and Canada.
Hamilton has 19 years of experience in client coverage and structuring solutions across a range of alternative credit opportunities, most recently as managing director of institutional distribution at Alcentra. He also previously held senior roles at Bank of New York Mellon and Thomas Weisel Asset Management.
“Scott brings invaluable experience in North American distribution, significant expertise in this asset class and a clear understanding of investors’ allocation needs. His appointment is a critical step in Pemberton’s plan to further develop its relationship with U.S. and Canadian investors with an increased local presence to better serve their needs,” Antoine Josserand, partner and head of business development and investor relations at Pemberton, said.
“It’s exciting to be joining Pemberton at this inflection point in the European direct lending market. With its highly experienced team, platform scale and dual-track credit process, Pemberton has come through this economic downturn on a strong footing and as a leading provider of corporate debt solutions across Europe. I’m honored for the opportunity and greatly look forward to comprehensively bringing Pemberton’s dynamic offerings to the U.S. institutional limited partner (LP) and consultant community,” Hamilton said.
