Canyon Partners expands global footprint with senior hire in EMEA

Ricard Janson has joined Canyon Partners as senior vice president in the EMEA capital formation group.

In the Europe, Middle East and Africa office (EMEA), Janson will primarily focus on the Nordic and Dutch markets. He will report to James Anderson, who was appointed head of EMEA capital formation in December 2023.

Janson brings to his role more than 15 years of private markets and capital formation experience in the Nordic region and across Europe. Most recently, he established and led business development and investor relations in the Nordics and the Netherlands at CAPZA, a European private investment platform.

The EMEA capital formation group is based out of Canyon’s London office along with Canyon’s European investment team, which has deployed approximately $20 billion of capital during the past decade across Canyon’s corporate and structured credit-oriented strategies.
