Apex Group has appointed Joseph Holman as global head of allocators.
Holman will be responsible for relationships with institutional-sized investors and allocators worldwide.
Based in New York, Holman will report to Apex’s recently appointed chief revenue officer, Fred Jacobs.
He has more than 25 years of industry experience in building and integrating businesses in the fund management space.
Holman founded Columbus Avenue Consulting in 2004. Columbus is a fund administrator offering services to hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds.
After nearly a decade of leading the business, Holman then worked as CEO of Orangefield-Columbus Fund Services following the Orangefield Group’s acquisition of Columbus Avenue Consulting.
Most recently, Holman served as managing director at Vistra upon the firm’s acquisition of the Orangefield Group, managing and overseeing the integration of all US offices following the transaction.
Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of Apex Group, said: “Joseph Holman’s extensive expertise in driving growth and business development, in addition to his thoughtful approach to relationship management, delivers the perfect blend for Apex as we move upmarket and focus on institutional businesses.”
He added: “Although his remit will be global, his presence on the ground in the US is pertinent as we continue to expand our brand and capabilities there. He will be a critical asset to Apex’s operations and delivery of advanced services as we step into this next chapter.”
Commenting on his new role, Holman, said: “I’m excited to be joining the Global Apex team during this time of impressive domestic growth here in the US in addition to its well-documented global expansion.”
He added: “The Apex Group has a strong reputation for providing responsive, high-quality and holistic fund administration solutions to asset managers worldwide, and I am looking forward to being a part of that legacy and contributing to the continued success of both clients and the business itself.”
