The creation of this global role highlights Centaur’s commitment to Private Equity. Since launching its Private Equity Service five years ago, Centaur Fund Services has gone through exponential growth in the sector. The group has established strong PE teams in both the United States and Europe that are focused on providing specialized administration services to Centaur’s PE clients that are both responsive and transparent.

On Gareth’s appointment, Karen Malone, Founding Partner of Centaur said, “Gareth brings in-depth PE experience from servicing clients in the PE environment over the past dozen years. Centaur PE is  growing rapidly, and as we expand, our continued success requires the sectoral experience of people like Gareth. His vision, PE experience and impressive cross-domicile knowledge are all important qualities to build this key sector as we enter our next phase of growth.”

Gareth said: “I’m delighted to be joining Centaur Private Equity. This sector will play a significant role in Centaur’s growth as fund administration becomes increasingly important for PE funds. Technology and client service are going to be key drivers - Centaur has already invested heavily in both its PE teams and processes and I look forward to ensuring our PE clients receive the best solution in the market.”
