Montana Capital Partners (“mcp”) has made two key promotions, including one to the new role of Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and one to Managing Partner. These promotions further strengthen the platform in order to take advantage of current and future growth opportunities in line with mcp’s highly differentiated strategy based on proactive sourcing of customized transactions in the mid-market.

The Swiss-based global private equity secondaries firm has promoted Eduard Lemle to the newly created role of CIO, in addition to his existing role of Managing Partner. He will continue to serve on the Investment Committee and the Executive Committee, as well as oversee mcp’s investment activities in the U.S. from mcp’s headquarter in Zug. With two decades of private equity investment experience, Eduard joined mcp in 2015 and has played an important role in investing its last three funds, building up the firm’s investment activities in the U.S., and helping in developing its highly analytical investment process and pro-active portfolio construction approach. 

Another key promotion is that of Dr. Stephan Wessel to Managing Partner. Stephan joined mcp in 2022 with a background in direct investing. In his previous capacity, he advised a large European family office as external CIO with the development of their private investing program. He started his career in M&A at a global investment bank in 2004. Since joining mcp, Stephan has led notable transactions across highly customized LP and GP-led deals. He serves on mcp’s Investment Committee and Executive Committee.

Other promotions include that of Maelle Reichenbach (Zug) and Simon Wickström (New York) to Director.

Dr Marco Wulff, Managing Partner and CEO at mcp, stated: “Further strengthening our senior team through some well-deserved promotions reflects our desire to consolidate our position as a leading secondary mid-market firm with a global investment mandate. With his longstanding experience and very strong investment track record, Eduard has the ideal background for the new CIO role, which is designed to further institutionalize our highly successful investment approach. In addition, I welcome Stephan as a Managing Partner, and congratulate Maelle and Simon, who have been part of the mcp family for many years, on their promotions.”

Eduard Lemle, Managing Partner and CIO at mcp, commented: “mcp has developed a highly analytical approach to private equity secondaries investing, based on pro-active deal sourcing and a rigorous investment process. This allows us to take advantage of the current more volatile macro-economic environment which represents a unique return opportunity for investors in private equity secondaries. I am delighted to help further institutionalize mcp’s investment efforts and work with a great team across our offices in Zug and New York.”

Dr. Stephan Wessel, Managing Partner at mcp, added: “The demand for customized liquidity solutions for GPs and LPs is set to increase even further, creating attractive investment opportunities for mcp and our investors. I am grateful for the opportunity to take on more responsibility in the leadership of the firm and look forward to contributing to its continued success as part of our senior management team.”
