Alternative Asset Manager Makes Private Credit, Equity Hire From Goldman Sachs
Aequitas Capital, an alternative asset management firm, has hired Thomas Goila as senior managing director of private credit and private equity.
Oregon-headquartered Aequitas Capital, an alternative asset management firm, has hired Thomas Goila as senior managing director of private credit and private equity.
In this new role, Goila will find transactions that offer “attractive risk-adjusted returns for Aequitas,” doing so through numerous channels and funded via Aequitas in partnership with other capital partners and clients.
He spent the past nine years at Goldman Sachs and Co as a senior investment professional in the special situations group, specializing in middle-market investments worth $20 million-$200 million.
Goila will report to Aequitas' chief executive Robert Jesenik and work alongside Jason MacRae, senior managing director of the specialty finance group.
MacRae joined Aequitas earlier this year as part of the firm's acquisition of Maple Bay Asset Management, where he was co-founder and CEO.
Goila will also work with Craig Froude, managing principal of Aequitas' private equity practice.
Besides its OR headquarters, Aequitas has offices in California, Florida and New York.
