Debt-focused asset manager White Oak Global Advisors has brought in veteran investor Jon Patty as a managing director and partner.
Patty will lead new ESG and impact-oriented investment opportunities and strategies, as well as working closely with the firm’s clients and borrowers, White Oak said.
He most recently spent a decade as managing director and head of private equity at New Island Capital, one of the largest institutional-scale global impact investment firms.
Prior to that he worked for MC Partners and JPMorgan Capital, and previously worked in strategic management consulting at Bain & Co and in investment banking at JPMorgan.
White Oak CEO and co-founder Andre Hakkak said, “We are excited to welcome Jon to the team.
“His deep expertise and proven track record in supporting the growth of mission-driven businesses complement White Oak’s dedication to partnering with strong management teams who aspire to the highest ESG standards while building high quality, financially rewarding businesses.”
Patty said, “White Oak has a track record of leading creative, flexible financings using a partnership-driven approach, and now has the opportunity to help companies implement the highest ESG standards, deepen their impact, and extend their financial success.”
White Oak said it had made more than $3.8bn in ESG-aligned investments since inception.
Its impact strategy focuses on secured loan lending to small and medium sized companies committed to providing products and services that create positive environmental and social impact while building economically sustainable businesses.
