Alchelyst, the global investor solutions and fund administration partner for private markets asset managers, today announced the appointment of Ben Middleton as Managing Director and Head of Sales for EMEA, alongside opening of its new UK offices on London's Oxford Street. The announcements mark continued investment in Alchelyst's global presence as firm responds to growing demand from private markets asset managers for more modern, integrated infrastructure.
"Ben's appointment and opening of our new London offices represent an important next step in expansion of Alchelyst's global footprint," said Ian Lynch, Chief Commercial Officer at Alchelyst. "We are seeing significant demand across Europe, as well as from U.S. managers looking to establish and grow their presence in region. As private markets continue to evolve, managers require best-in-class infrastructure that can support increasingly complex businesses and rising investor expectations."
Middleton will lead Alchelyst's sales strategy and business development efforts across EMEA, focused on deepening relationships with private markets asset managers. He brings more than 25 years of experience across financial and professional services, most recently leading Aztec Group's global clients and markets function. Previously, Middleton held senior leadership roles at Addleshaw Goddard and KPMG UK, where he spent a decade leading sales across UK and Europe.
"Private markets are becoming increasingly global, while operational demands facing managers are becoming more complex," said Ben Middleton, Managing Director and Head of Sales for EMEA at Alchelyst. "Alchelyst seamlessly brings together technology, infrastructure and expertise to help managers navigate that complexity and scale more effectively."
Alchelyst's new offices on London's Oxford Street will serve as center of firm's UK operations, providing base for growing team and client relationships across UK, Luxembourg and broader EMEA market. The opening follows launch of Alchelyst's flagship New York office earlier this year and establishment of new hub in South East of Ireland. Alchelyst now has offices across US, UK, Luxembourg, Ireland and India.
