Huntington Capital has added two new members to its investment team with the additions of Frank Mora as Principal and Nicolas Lopez as Senior Associate.
Mr. Mora is active with Huntington’s portfolio companies and sourcing and structuring new investment opportunities for Huntington’s latest fund, Huntington Capital Fund III. Mr. Mora joined Huntington from DBI Capital, a Southern California based lower middle market private equity buyout group where he was responsible for sourcing and structuring investment transactions, including co-investments into two Huntington portfolio companies.
“Frank has been working with the team at Huntington for several years through common co-investments and we are delighted to have him become part of our firm,” said Huntington’s founding partner Morgan Miller.
Mr. Mora holds a BS in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a dual concentration in Accounting and Finance and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
Nicolas Lopez joins Huntington from Best Buy Capital where he served as an associate. While at Best Buy Capital, he helped identify, evaluate and underwrite investment opportunities in partnership with cross-functional business groups within the organization. Mr. Lopez attended San Diego State University, earning a BS in Business Administration, and the University of Southern California, earning an MBA.
“Nick’s background in investment banking, strategic investing and corporate development adds additional attributes to our team and the value creation contributions we strive to bring to our portfolio companies,” said Managing Partner Tim Bubnack.
