H.I.G. Capital Names Brian Schwartz as CEO

H.I.G. Capital, a prominent global investment firm managing $74 billion, has appointed Brian Schwartz as Chief Executive Officer. A veteran within the company, Mr. Schwartz has held significant roles since joining in 1994, including Co-President for the past six years. He takes over from Co-Founder Sami Mnaymneh, who transitions to Executive Chairman alongside Tony Tamer.

Mr. Schwartz is expected to build on H.I.G.'s strong middle-market position, focusing on disciplined investing and capitalizing on emerging opportunities.
