Liberty Hall Capital Partners, an investor in the aerospace and defense industry, has hired Jack Nadal as a new principal.
Before coming to Liberty Hall, Mr. Nadal was a senior vice president at Insight Equity, a middle market private equity firm, which he joined in 2013. At Insight Equity he was active in all of the firm’s investments in the aerospace industry including Norsk Titanium, a maker of aerospace-grade titanium structures based in Oslo, Norway; and Precision Holdings, a contract machining, fabrication, assembly, and 3D metal printing services company based in Windsor, CT.
Prior to Insight Equity, Mr. Nadal was an associate at Oak Hill Capital Partners as a member of the firm’s basic industries group. He began his career at Lazard as an analyst in its technology, media and telecom group. Mr. Nadal has a BA in Economics from the University of Virginia and MBA from Columbia.
During his time at Oak Hill Capital Partners, Mr. Nadal worked with Rowan Taylor, Liberty Hall’s founding partner, and Liberty Hall principal Taylor Catarozoli.
“Since we formed Liberty Hall almost five years ago, we have continuously invested in growing our team,” said Mr. Taylor. “To continue to execute on our investment strategy focused on the aerospace industry, we must have the right talent at our firm. Jack is an ideal addition to Liberty Hall, and we are excited to be working with him again.”
Liberty Hall has been a very active investor of late. Just last month the firm acquired J&M Machine as an add-on acquisition for Accurus Aerospace, a Tier II aerostructures supplier. Accurus was formed as a platform company by Liberty Hall in November 2013. In March 2016, Liberty Hall acquired Bromford Industries, a supplier of engine components, fabrications and assemblies and landing gear components that are used in the aerospace and power generation industries. In February 2016, Liberty Hall acquired AIM Aerospace, a supplier of composite parts used in the commercial aerospace industry.
Liberty Hall was founded in July 2011 and is headquartered in New York (www.libertyhallcapital.com).
