With more than 20 years working in financial services, Brad joins Kinetic Partners from Hull Capital Management, an investment management firm running a special situations focused fund of hedge funds. During his time at Hull Capital Management, Brad developed and managed the firm’s operational due diligence process, in addition to serving as both Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer.
Prior to this, Brad led the deal team for a family office venture capital fund making early stage investments in technology companies. As part of this role, Brad was both an observer and member of the Boards of Directors of privately held companies on behalf of the family office.
The appointment further enhances Kinetic Partners due diligence offering; following the appointment of an experienced London based Director earlier this year to develop the practice globally.
Monique Melis, Global Service Line Head of Consulting, Kinetic Partners, commented: "We are pleased to welcome Brad to our New York office and to the global consulting team. His experience in operational due diligence will be key to the continued expansion of our services in this area, especially given that investors increasingly seek assurance that fund managers are prepared for upcoming global regulatory demands on their operations."
