LeadingMile, a consultancy firm specialising in the alternative investments industry, has appointed Jamie Nascimento as Partner and Chief Revenue Officer.
With the hire of Nascimento, LeadingMile welcomes a senior leader who knows the consulting firm well from his time as a client. As Co-Founder of LemonEdge, Nascimento helped scale the business from the ground up to scale-up status and was also involved in the company’s recent backing by investment giant Blackstone.
LemonEdge provides fund accounting and reporting infrastructure solutions to asset managers and fund administrators across multiple countries, with LeadingMile one if its strategic and preferred implementation partners. “After several years working alongside the LeadingMile team from the other side of the table, I’m delighted to now be joining the firm,” said Nascimento.
In his new role, Nascimento will spearhead LeadingMile’s commercial strategy, with a focus on developing new client relationships and opportunities, strengthening existing partnerships and further expanding the firm’s presence in the market.
Founded in 2017, LeadingMile is a specialist consultancy supporting organisations across the alternative investments industry. The firm is based in Amsterdam, with further offices in London and Belgrade.
“Over the last decade, LeadingMile has helped clients navigate technology, data, transformation and operational change – and it’s this consistent ability to deliver that has helped build the long-standing client relationships the firm is known for,” noted Nascimento. “LeadingMile has proven itself through turnkey deliveries with top global clients and displays a very practical understanding of the challenges firms are facing.”
Martijn Voorhaar, CEO of LeadingMile, said that the hire of Nascimento will strengthen the company’s leadership and commercial capabilities at a time when it is facing growing demand for its services across the alternative investments market.
“We have known and worked with Jamie for several years and have seen first-hand the knowledge, experience and commercial perspective he brings. He has an exceptional understanding of the alternative investments industry, a strong network and a clear understanding of how to best serve clients in this specialist market. Having someone with his experience and reputation join us is a significant addition and an exciting step as we continue to grow,” said Voorhaar.
