Paul Canning HIG Europe’s MD
HIG Capital was one of the standout investment firms in 2010
and has continued to beat expectations during the first quarter of 2011. The private equity firm based in Miami, USA, purchased 12 companies between February 2010 and March 2011, including the buyout of the well known Aircom international – the world’s largest independent provider of optimisation services and network planning for the mobile telecom industry.
Part of the company’s recent success has been from its European branch located in London, UK. HIG created the European branch in 2007 and has seen that area of their company increase quite rapidly, with the UK lead division gaining twice as many employees during 2010.
Paul Canning is a HIG Capital Managing Director within the London team and has been one of the main reasons for the company’s success over the past 3 years. Paul’s career path is quite interesting. He rose through the ranks, after gaining a B.A. in Accountancy and Economics from Strathclyde University.
Paul worked at KPMG and Royal Bank of Scotland where he worked closely with small cap firms. His successes with his past employers lead to HIG’s interest and Paul taking one of the head positions at the company’s London base.
What is next for Paul and HIG Capital we don’t know but they are definitely a company to watch during 2011.
