Mr. Boston will work alongside Mounir Guen and Hussein Khalifa, founders of MVision, on the continuing expansion and build-up of the firm’s position in the market. “I have known Mounir “Moose” Guen for many years, both as a good friend and strong competitor,” said Mr. Boston. “I am committed to originating and executing mandates for leading private equity firms, and there is no better place to do that than MVision.”
