Altas Partners has added two new partners to its investment team with the hirings of Paul Emery and Michael Korzinstone.
Altas makes equity investments of $400 million to $1 billion and typically owns its portfolio companies over a longer term than other private equity firms. The firm manages more than $10 billion of capital and its investing partners include large family offices, insurance companies, pension funds, endowments, and foundations.
“Altas’ strategy is distinctive in that we look to acquire only one or two high-quality businesses each year,” said Andrew Sheiner, Altas’ CEO. “To do that, we evaluate hundreds of businesses annually, through what is by design an intensive process. Having a strong team is integral to executing on our specialized approach, and we are thrilled to welcome Michael and Paul to Altas. We have known them both for many years and are confident they will add depth to our capabilities and will serve as wonderful additions to the firm.”
Prior to joining Atlas, Mr. Emery was with Hellman & Friedman for twelve years, where he was actively investing in the healthcare, insurance, and business services sectors. He has his undergraduate degree in commerce and government from the University of Virginia and his MBA from Stanford University.
Mr. Korzinstone most recently spent five years with Cinven, a London-headquartered private equity firm, where he was a founding member of the firm’s New York City-headquartered North American investment team. Earlier in his career, he spent ten years with Silver Lake in both New York City and London. Mr. Korzinstone has his undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
Altas was founded in 2012 by former Onex Managing Director Andrew Sheiner and is headquartered in Toronto with an additional office in New York City.
