Lakemore Partners, a private credit investment firm primarily investing in control CLO equity, has hired Dan Norman as managing director and head of its U.S. business operations. 

Norman will focus on growing Lakemore’s investment platform globally from its recently established US office in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Norman joins Lakemore following his retirement last year from Voya Investment Management where he most recently served as group head and senior managing director.

“Dan is a successful, highly respected and cycle-proven executive who has established himself as one of the leading experts in broadly syndicated corporate loans and CLO management,” said Mohamed Seif, co-founder and managing director of Lakemore. “With more than 35 years of global business-building and investment management experience, Dan is the perfect fit for our firm as we continue to strengthen our relationships with leading US CLO managers and look to serve the needs of current and prospective investors in the US and around the world. We are thrilled to welcome him to Lakemore.”

“I’m honoured to join such a diverse and well-respected firm that has established a leadership role in the CLO marketplace through its sound strategic approach and commitment to client service,” added Norman. “Lakemore’s strong culture of respect and support for its team members deeply resonates with me and is core to a successful business. I look forward to working alongside the experienced professionals at Lakemore as we continue to expand our presence both in the US and around the world.”
