Investcorp's co-CEO Ben-Gacem to leave in management shake-up
Announces major management reshuffle
Co-CEO Ben-Gacem to step aside after three decades
Will retain role at investment unit Investcorp Capital
Executive Chairman Alardhi to take on additional responsibilities
Co-CEO Rishi Kapoor named vice chairman and CIO
Adds detail and context in paragraphs 3-8
DUBAI, Sept 2 (Reuters) -Bahrain's Investcorp ICAP.AD said on Monday that co-CEO Hazem Ben-Gacem will leave after 30 years with the alternative investment company as it embarks on a major management reshuffle in an effort to boost returns.
Investcorp in a statement said co-CEO Rishi Kapoor had been appointed vice chairman and chief investment officer while Executive Chairman Mohammed Alardhi would assume additional responsibilities previously undertaken by the co-CEOs.
Ben-Gacem joined Investcorp in 1994 and led private equity investments across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and China.
He was key to a drive to increase ties with China by trying to raise funds from domestic investors there and completing Investcorp's first buyout in China last year.
Business ties between the Middle East and China have increased in recent years amid the Gulf states' infrastructure, technology and financial push, and Sino-U.S. geopolitical tensions.
Ben-Gacem will leave Investcorp effective Nov. 1, but will continue as vice chairman of investment unit Investcorp Capital, the company said.
As part of the shake-up, Investcorp said it had consolidated and organised its investment activities in three units. Dave Tayeh is taking the helm of Private Equity and Private Equity like, Herb Myers and Mike O'Brien will be in charge of Real Assets, and Jeremy Ghose will lead the Credit business.
"As we increase our focus on leveraging the strength of our existing investment platform, we recognise it is the right time to broaden our executive leadership to support our future growth plans," Alardhi said in a statement.
The group has more than $52 billion in assets under management and is known for taking luxury brands public.
