GHO Capital Partners LLP (“GHO”), the European specialist investor in global healthcare, today announced that it has appointed Olav König as Head of Investor Relations.
Olav joins from HarbourVest Partners where he spent more than a decade as a Managing Director and Partner, serving as Head of EMEA Investor Relations and as a member of the firm’s Global IR Leadership Committee. He built and led HarbourVest’s EMEA Investor Relations function, growing it into one of the industry’s leading regional IR teams with around twenty dedicated professionals.
Previously, Olav was a partner at Eaton Partners, a global private markets placement agent, where he headed the EMEA business. Prior to that, he spent eight years at Capital Dynamics as Global Head of Business Development. During his tenure there, he was also involved in the acquisition and integration of Westport Private Equity and HRJ Capital.
Olav’s appointment follows GHO’s recent announcement of its definitive agreement with CBC Group to create the world’s largest dedicated healthcare investment manager, with over $21 billion in AUM, more than 200 investment and operating professionals, and a footprint spanning 13 offices across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Mike Mortimer, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of GHO Capital, commented: “Olav brings a wealth of investor relations expertise and a strong track record to our team. His experience building and scaling one of the industry’s most respected EMEA IR franchises, and his global fundraising success will be instrumental in supporting our next phase of growth. Few things are more universal than the need for better, faster, more accessible healthcare, and we’re confident Olav’s leadership will amplify that story to investors.”
