CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE) has announced a series of senior appointments aimed at strengthening its North American client solutions team, a move reflecting rising demand for access to private markets from both institutional allocators and high-net-worth investors.
The firm named Beth Nardi as Head of U.S. Private Wealth, placing her in charge of strategic direction and delivery of Hamilton Lane’s private wealth offerings — including evergreen and traditional private markets products tailored to advisors and affluent clients. Nardi joins from JPMorgan Asset Management, where she led enterprise relationships across the Americas and oversaw strategic partnerships with major registered investment advisers. Her addition signals Hamilton Lane’s intent to deepen its presence in a fast-growing distribution channel.
Hamilton Lane also appointed two new Managing Directors focused on institutional clients. Tim Jenkins, based in New York, will manage relationships across the Northeast. He previously served in capital development and investor relations roles at Eisler Capital and spent portions of his career at Ashmore, Aviva Investors, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan. Russell Simon, joining from CF Private Equity, will lead institutional business development in the western United States from the firm’s San Francisco office. His background includes senior roles at Allianz Global Investors and oversight of limited-partner relationships across the U.S., Canada, and Japan.
The firm further expanded its outreach capabilities with several additional hires. Emily Mosquera will drive institutional business development in the Southeast, Paul Schemel will support institutional clients in the West, and Jake Passero will serve institutions in the Northeast. On the private wealth side, Sizwe Kamra joins to support business development efforts in the Midwest.
All new team members report to Mike Woollatt, Head of Americas Client Solutions.
Woollatt said the expanded bench comes at a moment when interest in private markets continues to grow. “More investors than ever are seeking exposure to the asset class,” he noted, adding that Hamilton Lane’s priority is to broaden access while maintaining the high-quality service that has long defined the firm’s approach.
As private markets increasingly attract both institutional capital and individual investors, Hamilton Lane’s latest appointments mark a strategic effort to scale its client engagement and accelerate growth across key U.S. regions.
