Partners Group announced an adjustment to its management structure in order to support the future growth of the firm. It has appointed 22 senior managers to a new and diverse global leadership team, charged with driving forward the global business and corporate development of the firm. Members include partners and managing directors from different business lines across the firm's offices in Sao Paulo, San Francisco, New York, London, Singapore and Sydney, as well as its headquarters in Zug, Switzerland.

The above adjustments will be effective from 1 January 2015. Under the new management framework, the company announced two rotations in the Executive Committee as of 1 January 2015. Jurg Wenger has decided to step down from an operational role as Chief Operating Officer and will instead actively support the firm's human capital management initiatives and take the lead on important office infrastructure projects.

He joined Partners Group in 1999 and has been instrumental in providing the technological and operational support for the firm's rapid growth during his tenure to over 700 staff in 18 offices globally. Following his transition, the Human Resources and Technology departments will report directly to the Co-CEOs. Joining the Executive Committee as of 1 January 2015 will be Andreas Baumann, who has relocated to the US to take on a new role as Head Americas, after several years successfully leading Partners Group's Asia private equity business out of Singapore.

He joined the firm's New York office in 2003 and spent the next seven years building out its private equity investment activities in the Americas, before moving to Asia in 2010. Andreas Baumann is a member of the Global Investment Committee, the firm's most senior investment body charged with oversight of all investment recommendations, and in his new role will focus on portfolio solutions for large mandate clients in the Americas.
