Morgan Stanley MD joins H.I.G. Capital

Ahmad Atwan has joined H.I.G. Capital as a managing director on the infrastructure team at the $40 billion firm. With more than two decades under his belt, Atwan has experience as a private equity investor, operating executive and entrepreneur. Previously, he was a managing director at Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, where he led a number of transactions and served as a board director of multiple portfolio companies. Prior to that he was a managing director at BlackRock’s Global Private Equity Group, where he served as the head of energy and resources investing. He will now be responsible for all the aspects of the investment process including origination, transaction structuring, financing and execution of post-closing strategies. H.I.G.’s infrastructure investments are focused on mid-market opportunities and target mostly operating companies that can benefit from H.I.G.’s value added operating expertise. H.I.G. has previously completed more than a dozen such investments. “We are excited to welcome Ahmad to H.I.G.,” said Ed Pallesen, who co-leads H.I.G.’s infrastructure team. “His impressive background and experience in infrastructure investing will be instrumental to the team as we continue to grow.” Last month, former Ardian executive Andrew Liau joined H.I.G. Capital in London to co-lead its infrastructure team alongside Pallesen, who is based in New York with a focus on the Americas. Pallesen worked at Goldman Sachs for 19 years before joining H.I.G. and was head of the Americas at Goldman Sachs’ Infrastructure fund.
