TMF Group, a global professional services firm, has appointed Kwame Lewis to the newly created role of head of fund services for the North America region.
Reporting to Andrew O’Shea, global head of fund services, and to Jan Willem van Drimmelen, market head for the North America region, Lewis will support and accelerate the growth of TMF’s fund services unit in North America.
Lewis joins from ACON Investments, a middle-market buyout private equity manager, where he worked as chief financial officer.

Drimmelen said: “Kwame Lewis’ arrival greatly advances our fund services offering for private equity, venture capital, real estate, private credit and other managers of closed-end funds. He is well-known among his peers and widely viewed as an innovator.”
Lewis added: “I am excited to bring my experience as a fund manager CFO to TMF Group’s fund administration business. TMF represents a hugely exciting challenge, it has a unique global footprint and has all of the resources needed to be a leading fund administration provider. I’m looking forward to helping the firm continue its fast growth.”
TMF Group recently acquired Selectra Management Company, a regulated management company based in Luxembourg servicing both alternative investment funds and UCITS, from Farad Group.
