Billionaire Dynasty's Buyout Firm Hires Hayfin Veteran as CFO
A private equity firm backed by one of the world's richest families hired a veteran of direct lender Hayfin as chief financial officer, adding to a series of leadership changes.
Neil Syers was appointed Wednesday to the London-based role at Bregal Investments, founded by the Brenninkmeijer dynasty behind clothing retail giant C&A. He'll oversee the firm's global finance function and help continue its growth in investment strategies and geographies, according to a company statement. The 46 year-old UK native previously held a similar role at Hayfin Capital Management, one of Europe's largest closely held private-credit firms, which he left in March, filings show.
