TRG’s Kaji moves to consultancy Accordion
Suneel Kaji has left The Rohatyn Group (TRG), where he was involved in private equity and special situations credit investments in US and the Pacific Rim, to become a managing director at Accordion, a US-headquartered consultancy.
Kaji spent around five years at TRG, most recently as a senior portfolio manager for private investments, focusing on non-real estate deals, particularly in the energy, natural resources, chemicals and logistics sectors. He has more than 15 years' industry experience, principally in the US as well as cross-border activity involving Asia and Australia.
Kaji previously worked for GEM Group, Crown Capital Group and Salomon Brothers.
Accordion, which has offices in New York and Dubai, works with management teams and investors on portfolio company operational improvement. It is made up of principal investing and operating professionals.
TRG is an emerging markets investment firm that has added a sizeable private equity business to its hedge funds capabilities and now has more than $7 billion in assets under management.
Last year TRG bought Citigroup's $4.3 billion private equity unit, Citi Venture Capital International (CVCI). It previously acquired a majority stake in Singapore-based mid-market infrastructure private equity firm CapAsia and a 50% interest in Hong Kong-headquartered PE real estate investor Arch Capital.
