Pemberton, a European private credit manager, hired Sanford (Sandy) Ewing as a new managing director for the firm’s business development team. Ewing joined the company on July 5 and has more than two decades of experience in the field.
Ewing will support Pemberton’s international expansion, which is set against a backdrop of growing international demand from investors for European private debt. He joined Pemberton as a managing director specifically for North America, where he will be responsible for all aspects of investor coverage, client servicing and consultant relations across the North American market.
Ewing was previously co-head of marketing and investor relations at Cross Ocean Partners, a special situations credit and aviation asset manager based in the U.S. and the UK. Prior to that, Ewing was a principal and founder of Chapdelaine Credit Partners, a diversified boutique credit broker-dealer. He also spent 15 years in credit distribution and investment banking at Lehman Brothers. Ewing will report to Scott Hamilton, who heads business development in North America and joined Pemberton in November 2020.
“Sandy joins the Pemberton team at a period of significant international growth for the firm,” Symon Drake-Brockman, managing partner of Pemberton, said. “We look forward to leveraging the wealth of expertise he brings in business development, strategic leadership and investor relations to support our clients and grow our business across North America. The asset class has demonstrated its resilience through the COVID-19 pandemic, and we expect North American institutional investors to increase their allocations to Europe.”
“Pemberton has a growing investor base in North America and is entering an exciting stage in its development in the region,” Ewing said. “Its pan-European investment platform and ability to deploy capital across Europe’s private credit markets are perfectly suited to the growing demands of U.S. and Canadian institutional investors. I look forward to working closely with the team to further Pemberton’s growth ambitions in North America and enhance our existing relationships while also building new ones.”
