32 Degrees Capital promotes Trent Baker to managing partner

Canadian energy private equity firm 32 Degrees Capital has promoted Trent Baker to managing partner. Baker, who joined the firm in 2007 from KPMG, will now lead the deal team in sourcing, due diligence and investment monitoring. Managing Partner Larry Evans, a co-founder of Calgary's 32 Degrees, said the appointment will support the firm's rebranding towards an exclusive exploration and production-focused investment strategy. Earlier this year, 32 Degrees invested in the initial $25 million financing of Calgary oil and gas company Rising Star Resources Ltd.
