We are delighted to announce that Michael Ede has been appointed as Partner, and our new CFO and COO. Michael will be based in our London office.
This is our third Partner appointment this year, following the news of Yann Chareton joining to lead us in Milan and the promotion of Edward Lunken to Partner in London.
Michael began his career at Deloitte, and he joins from Odey Asset Management where he started as an Accountant in 2013 and was later appointed as Partner and CFO and COO. He oversaw Finance, Compliance, Risk, HR and IT; and was also a member of the Executive Committee.
Andrew Wynn, Founder and Managing Partner of Perwyn, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Michael to Perwyn. Michael’s expertise in providing leadership and stability through every market and business cycle will be of great benefit to us as we continue to develop and grow in leaps and bounds. His skill in navigating both opportunities and inflection points with confidence and clarity will also stand us in good stead as we build on our reputation as one of Europe’s leading private equity investors, with a capital base from a small number of committed investors.”
“I want to extend our sincere thanks to James Gavey, our outgoing CFO, for his leadership, dedication, and the many contributions he made during his tenure. His stewardship and insight have played a vital role in our growth journey.”
Michael Ede, CFO and COO of Perwyn added: “I am excited to be joining Perwyn as its new CFO and COO. Andrew and the team have built a very impressive private equity firm with a forward-thinking approach. Particularly appealing is its unique funding model backed by permanent capital. This structure allows Perwyn to avoid the traditional fundraising cycles, enabling the team to focus entirely on unlocking the full potential of each portfolio company. I very much look forward to starting my new role, and contributing to Perwyn’s continued successes.”
