Ron Landen, CAO & GC – HighVista Strategies (EP.43)
Ron Lanen is a Partner, Chief Administrative Officer, and General Counsel at HighVista Strategies, an alternative asset manager with approximately $11 billion in assets. Given the uptick in M&A activity, I was interested in getting Ron’s input following their acquisition of abrdn’s US private markets business. Ron’s background makes him uniquely positioned to share best practices with acquiring another investment firm. He shares how the organization effectively doubled in headcount and assets and the implications on legal, IR and operations. We also talk about the importance of culture, integration, hiring for range and the “knock on” effects of managing new service providers.
