Armen has appointed Paul Kucerin as managing director and head of DACH investment in its Germany-based team, effective 1 Nov.

Armen has also appointed Dominicus von Neree as director of investor relations, effective 1 Oct.

Kucerin joins from Hamburger Pensionsverwaltung where he served as the head of private equity and private debt.

In this new role at Armen, he will be in charge of developing and building out Armen’s presence in the DACH market. He will be responsible for sourcing, assessing, negotiating and monitoring investment opportunities on behalf of the collective investment vehicles managed by Armen.

Von Neree will primarily focus on fundraising for Armen, leveraging his relationships with family offices, UHWNIs and HNWIs, trusts and foundations. He will also spearhead fundraising efforts for Armen’s portfolio companies in the region.

“Today, amidst challenging and volatile macroeconomic conditions, GPs are exploring alternative avenues to grow and develop, including GP Stakes,” said Dominique Gaillard, chairman, co-founder of Armen. “As demand for alternative investment opportunities continues to grow, Dominicus and Paul’s respective expertise will play a pivotal role in supporting GPs across the DACH region and, more broadly, Europe as they tackle these challenges head-on.”

Armen is an investment firm based in Paris. It is a portfolio management company authorised by the AMF.
