Jon Little’s patient capital firm Alderwood Capital has appointed Cathy Jones as a partner and a member of its investment committee.
Jones (pictured), was a partner at Northill Capital where she worked alongside existing Alderwood partners Jon Little, Rick Potter, Jeremy Bassil and Ryan Sinnott and managing partner Jon Little.
Prior to this, she was a human resources director at BNY Mellon for almost a decade where she managed a 60-strong team, looking after over 5,000 employees. Jones has also held a number of non-executive board roles at Securis Investments Partners, Vantage Infrastructure Holdings and Strategic Investment Management.
Alderwood, which was founded by Little in 2020, provides patient capital to specialist boutique active managers via investment in general partner (GP) stakes.
Jones will lead Alderwood’s effort to understand the leadership and investment ‘DNA’ of its target businesses. She will be based in its London office in Covent Garden.
Jon Little, managing partner of Alderwood Capital, said: “Cathy has a unique understanding of the boutique asset management sector and what makes the people within it ‘tick’. Her knowledge and experience are a key ingredient of our intensive investment process and we’re all delighted to be working with her again. Cathy’s skills and deep experience will be invaluable to the business as we continue to grow and build out our investment portfolio of focused, active managers.”
