GED Capital appoints Javier Echarri as managing partner
Spain-based investor GED Capital has appointed Javier Echarri, former head of the European Venture Capital Association (EVCA), as managing partner.
Echarri was secretary-general of the trade body for 10 years, having been elected into the position just a year after he joined in 1999.
He currently occupies non-executive roles at the European Federation of Junior Enterprises, the Asian Venture Capital Association and the European Venture Philanthropy Association.
Echarri was involved in a number of projects during his time at EVCA, with much of his final years dominated by his fight against the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
"His experience as a representative for European venture capital and his wide experience of the sector will make a strong contribution to GED's funds both in Spain and abroad," said GED president Enrique Centelles Echeverría.
