26 September 2024: All Seas Capital, a pan-European private capital fund that provides transformational capital solutions to leading founder- and entrepreneur-owned companies, today announced the expansion of its investor relations team with the appointment of Hugh Hadley as Fundraising and IR Associate, working alongside Head of Investor Relations, Gemma Braithwaite.

Hugh joins the All Seas Capital team from Ares Management where he specialised in European direct lending, investor engagement, fund analysis and portfolio monitoring, including regular valuations of debt and equity investments. Prior to Ares, he worked at Natixis in leveraged loans having completed HSBC’s graduate program. Hugh attained the Chartered Financial Analyst – level I (CFA Institute) and graduated with a first-class honours degree in Economics from University of Nottingham.

Last year, All Seas Capital closed its maiden fund with total commitments of US$400m including co-investments, and has invested in companies including Attivo Group (UK), G3 (UK), Hakim Group (UK), Nurture Group (UK), Reducate (Netherlands), SoMeD Santé (France), Synergym (Spain) and Zimmer MedizinSysteme (Germany).

All Seas Capital provides flexible long-term financing solutions to leading Western European mid-market businesses. Alongside transformational capital solutions, the All Seas Capital team provides board level expertise to entrepreneurs and management teams who do not want to sell majority stakes.

All Seas Capital is led by Marc Ciancimino and Cristobal Cuart who co-founded and led KKR’s European mezzanine and preferred equity business and have an extensive career track record, with €3.4bn invested across 45 businesses prior to founding All Seas Capital.

Marc Ciancimino and Cristobal Cuart, Co-Founders of All Seas Capital, said:

“Having raised our maiden fund last year, we are excited to be expanding our investor relations team and warmly welcome Hugh Hadley to All Seas Capital. We have deployed at pace and continue to see great opportunities to provide our flexible, hybrid non-control capital to established founder- and entrepreneur-owned companies that have already reached a certain scale but can benefit from our support and capital. Partnering with us serves as a catalyst for growth and development, while enabling business owners to retain control and preserve their culture, which is highly appealing.”
