OCIO Partners Capital recruits Asia co-head

Based in Singapore, Pitsilis will share regional leadership duties with fellow Managing Director Adam Watson, according to a statement. He will also work alongside Dominik Burckgard, head of the firm’s Hong Kong office.

Pitsilis joins Partners Capital from a stint as an entrepreneur and early-stage investor in the B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) and financial technology space in Asia. In the past seven years, he has co-founded two start-ups and established a venture portfolio.

This followed 20 years with McKinsey, mostly in Hong Kong, where he was a senior partner in the financial services practice. Clients included global investment banks, regional financial institutions, and policymakers such as governments, central banks, and securities regulators.

“We are thrilled to welcome Emmanuel to Partners Capital at a time when the client demand for investment services and solutions across Asia has never been greater,” said Arjun Raghavan, who established the firm’s Asia business in 2011 and ran it until becoming global CEO last year.

Founded in 2001, Partners Capital primarily serves institutions and senior investment professionals in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. It has 230 people working out of offices in Boston, New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, San Francisco and Paris, and covers all major asset classes. The firm oversees more than $38 billion in assets.
