Barcelona-based Miura Private Equity has held a final close for its second fund on its €200m hard-cap and appointed a new partner.

Miura Fund II will focus on the Spanish mid-market. The vehicle's predecessor, Miura Fund I, has a portfolio with combined sales of more than €300m and a headcount of 3,000 global staff.

The GP has simultaneously announced the appointment of Juan Eusebio Pujol as operating partner, alongside the promotion of Jordi Alegre to partner.

Pujol will assist management teams in addressing operational issues. He has more than 20 years' experience in management consultancy.

Alegre joined Barcelona-based Miura upon its foundation in 2007. He previously worked at Mercapital and Morgan Stanley.

Earlier this year, Miura appointed Luis Seguí to replace Juan Rosell as president, who stood down after a five-year term.
