Chason Beggerow joins Altius Associates as partner for its US team
Altius Associates, a UK-headquartered investment firm specializing in private equity, has appointed Chason Beggerow as its fourth US-based Partner in Richmond, Virginia. Chason will divide his time between coordinating business development activity in the North American market and working with the US investment team on private equity manager selection and due diligence.
Chason joins Altius from Tredegar Industries, a Richmond, Virginia-based industrial manufacturer, where he served for two years as its director of business development. Prior to that he was chief financial officer at Soane Laboratories, a biotech incubator and research group based in Emeryville, California. At Soane his primary responsibility was to attract venture capital funding for the five companies in its portfolio.
Between 1995 and 2000 Chason was a vice president at Harris Williams & Co, a midmarket mergers and acquisitions firm. During his time at Harris Williams he worked on and closed 16 transactions, the vast majority of which involved private equity firms as clients or buyers.
Chason received a BS from the University of Virginia and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Commenting on the new appointment, Brad Young, a Partner at Altius Associates and head of its North American team, said: “We’re very excited about Chason joining us. His background in private equity and business development will make him a valuable addition to an already strong team in the US.”
