Hamilton Lane, a global private markets investment management firm, has announced that long-time executives Erik Hirsch and Juan Delgado-Moreira have been appointed co-CEOs, effective Jan. 1, 2024.
They succeed Mario Giannini, who will join Hartley Rogers as executive co-chairman after 22 years as Hamilton Lane's CEO. Rogers has served as chairman of the board since 2005.
“We're thrilled to be making this announcement today — at a time when Hamilton Lane is as strongly positioned as it's ever been in terms of our global platform and scale, new and differentiated product lines, growing client base and deep leadership bench,” said Giannini. “With Erik and Juan stepping into the roles of co-CEOs, I am both confident and excited about the future of Hamilton Lane, knowing we’ve identified the right leaders to build upon the strength of our current foundation and guide us through the next evolution of our business.”
As of Jan. 1, 2024, Delgado-Moreira will be appointed to the board of directors and will primarily focus on leading Hamilton Lane’s global sales efforts and client-service organization, while Hirsch will lead the firm’s strategic direction and manage its operations.
Hirsch and Delgado-Moreira, who joined Hamilton Lane in 1999 and 2005, respectively, have held a variety of positions throughout their careers and have a detailed and nuanced understanding of the firm’s many business lines. The duo jointly will lead Hamilton Lane’s global investment team.
