Tikehau Capital announces the hire of two senior professionals to lead its private

equity decarbonization strategy in North America

Tikehau Capital, the global alternative asset management group, today announces the appointment of Alexander Bell as Head of the North American Private Equity Climate Practice and Cristian Norambuena as Director of the Practice. Both will be based in New York.

Tikehau Capital's North American Private Equity Climate Practice aims to help reach the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement by providing equity capital to companies in North America focused on the fast-growing energy transition sector.

The Practice's mission is to accelerate the paradigm shift to a low-carbon economy through the growth of corporate leaders in the energy transition space that are developing solutions to lower energy consumption, increase renewable energy supply, expand low-carbon mobility and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In February 2020, Tikehau Capital announced the successful closing of its European-focused Energy Transition strategy, which outperformed its original fundraising goals with over €1 billion raised. To date, it has invested in 10 European companies active in the clean energy generation, low-carbon mobility and energy efficiency sectors.

Alex Bell brings close to two decades of experience in the private equity industry. Prior to joining Tikehau Capital, he spent five years at Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ), where he led the investment efforts of a C$500 million Innovation in Sustainable Investment (ISI) platform, which invests in late-stage venture and early-growth private equity opportunities in Energy Transition, Sustainable Food & Agriculture and Industrial Decarbonization. Before that, Alex spent 12 years in the energy private equity sector, notably at Pine Brook Partners and Cadent Energy Partners. Alex started his career in power & utilities investment banking at Lehman Brothers in New York. He holds an A.B. cum laude degree in Economics from Harvard University.

Prior to joining Tikehau Capital, Cristian worked as a Senior Investment Officer at New York City Comptroller's Office where he helped manage the $30 billion private equity portfolio of the NYC Retirement Systems. He also held leading investment roles at private pension fund managers in Chile, overseeing global asset allocation and private and public markets portfolios. Cristian holds an MBA from Columbia University, an advanced degree from Universidad de Salamanca, and a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Universidad de Chile.

Tim Grell, CEO of Tikehau Capital North America, and Emmanuel Laillier, Head of Private Equity at Tikehau Capital, declared: "We are thrilled to welcome Alex and Cristian to Tikehau Capital in New York. Their respective experience and expertise in private equity and the energy sector will play a leading role in our continued effort to support the transition to a low carbon economy. We believe that investors have a responsibility to contribute directly to global efforts towards meeting carbon neutrality goals and are confident that our decarbonization fund focused on North America is well positioned to accelerate the transition to a net zero future."
