Peak Rock bolsters Brussels team with new principal

Beck will work alongside Thibaud Caulier and Laurent Blumberg, respectively managing director and vice-president in Peak Rock's Brussels office.

As part of his role, he will focus on sourcing deal opportunities for the firm, which typically invests $20-150m equity tickets in businesses generating $50m-1bn in sales and where enterprise value sits in the $25-500m region. Core investment areas include consumer, manufacturers, distributors, healthcare, media and metals, among others.

Beck's career began at McKinsey & Company's German team, where he was an associate and associate principal between March 2000 and September 2004. He was then recruited by Goldman Sachs, where he advised on M&A as a vice-president.

In July 2009, he joined Barclays' investment banking arm. A director at the London office, he focused on deals involving manufacturing companies.

Beck is the latest name in a wave of appointments by Peak Rock since closing its maiden fund on $700m, far above its initial $400m target, in 2013. Since that date, 25 people have joined the GP's investment team at its Texas headquarters and a Brussels office that was set up in 2014.
