Napier Park Global Capital (“Napier Park”) today announced that Joe Lane, based in the firm’s New York office, and Julia He, based in the firm’s London office, have been named Partners of the firm. These appointments recognize the important contributions Mr. Lane and Ms. He have made to Napier Park’s growth as a leading global alternative credit investor.

Mr. Lane joined the firm in 2015, originally to help guide its Real Assets business, which seeks to invest in cash generating, essential-use industrial and transportation equipment including commercial aviation and railcars. His role as mentor and advisor has been embraced more broadly, and he now serves as Vice Chairman of Napier Park and Chairman of the firm’s Management Committee. As one of the most widely recognized leaders in the equipment finance industry, Mr. Lane’s four decades of industry experience and executive management add significantly to the firm’s capabilities.

Ms. He is a founding member of the European Credit strategy team where she has served in a senior investment capacity for more than 15 years. She has played a primary role in the launch and growth of Napier Park’s European Henley CLO business in addition to leading the European credit research team. Ms. He also serves as a member of Napier Park’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) working group.

“Joe and Julia have been tremendous colleagues and leaders at our firm, and we are proud to recognize them for their accomplishments,” said Jim O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Napier Park. “They both have made important contributions to our growth as a globally recognized alternative credit investor and have also played a significant part in elevating Napier Park’s culture of excellence.”

“It is a privilege to work with both Joe and Julia to build Napier Park’s investment platform, and their leadership contributes greatly to our overall success,” added Jonathan Dorfman, Chief Investment Officer at Napier Park. “Joe and Julia bring deep expertise in the highly specialized real assets and credit markets where our firm operates, and we are fortunate to have them on our team.”

“Napier Park continues to play an important role in providing our clients with differentiated access to investment opportunities in real assets, and in bringing new sources of capital to the sector,” said Mr. Lane. “The opportunity to share my operating experience with the creativity, talent and skill assembled within this firm has been very rewarding, and I look forward to expanded opportunities to help mentor and guide in ways that add value to our team, our partners and our clients.”

“I am very appreciative of this recognition,” said Ms. He. “It’s been a real pleasure working alongside such a collaborative and supportive team at Napier Park. I am eager to keep expanding our footprint in the European market and would like to thank all my colleagues who I have worked with and mentored along the way. I am honored to join the Napier Park Partnership.”
