Pietersen joins as vice president having been an associate director in the private equity funds group at UBS Investment Bank in New York, where he focused on origination, due diligence and placement of third party private equity and infrastructure products globally.


Brendel previously played a key role in project management and origination relating to coverage of European general partners for Bear Stearns' private funds group.
