BlackRock Adds 3 Former Merrill Execs to Build Out PE Team
Nathan Thorne, George Bitar and Mandy Puri have joined BlackRock to build a PE platform that will include about 20 professionals within the next year. The three execs, which founded Merrill Lynch's PE business in 1994, will report to Matthew Botein, MD and Head of BlackRock Alternative Investors. The three execs are building out a PE capability at BlackRock, said Bobbie Collins, a firm spokeswoman. "It's too early to comment on what those capabilities will be or on any fundraisings that will take place," Collins said.
