Former Lazard private credit specialist joins Alcentra

Alcentra appointed Chris Mulshine as head of U.S. distribution, working out of the firm’s New York office and joining after serving as the global head of private credit with the Lazard Private Capital Advisors team. Reporting to Alcentra President and COO Dan Fabian, Mulshine will be responsible for devising the company’s long-term sales and marketing strategies in North America, as well as heading up the institutional business activities across all client segments in the U.S. Previously, Mulshine has held other fundraising roles at Credit Suisse, UBS and Goldman Sachs. “The U.S. is the largest credit market in the world and we are delighted Chris is joining the North America team,” said Jonathan DeSimone, CEO designate of Alcentra, which has $42 billion in AUM. “Chris brings formidable private credit and alternatives experience to the role to help in these efforts. We believe his deep knowledge of our business and industry experience will be a valuable asset in underscoring our commitment to expand our U.S. investor base.” In September, DeSimone was appointed as CEO of Alcentra, following David Forbes-Nixon’s decision to step down as CEO of the firm to focus on his investment responsibilities. Alcentra has an investment track record dating back to 2002. The London-headquartered manager has one of the longest tenured track records in private debt investing in senior loans, high yield bonds, direct lending, structured credit, distressed debt, and multi-strategy credit. “I am thrilled to join Alcentra during this extraordinary point in time, where investors are looking for new options to drive alpha in today’s low interest rate environment,” said Mulshine. “I am excited to apply my 25 years of industry experience to support Alcentra in further elevating its brand as a best in class credit investment solution with an expanding institutional and retail client base.”
