Mandarin hires two in Italy and Germany

Sino-Italian mid-cap private equity firm Mandarin Capital Partners has hired Andrea Tuccio as a partner and Inna Gehrt as the new head of its Frankfurt office.
Tuccio joins Mandarin's Milan-based team as a partner from Italian corporate finance advisory boutique RSM Italy, where he had worked as managing partner since 2010. Prior to that, he worked on the private equity team of Banca Profilo as well as at KPMG.
In his new role, Tuccio will originate, execute and manage investment across the Italian mid-cap market, following the GP's Chinese market expansion strategy.
Inna Gehrt, Mandarin Capital
Inna Gehrt will head the GP's Frankfurt-based office following the departure of partner Markus Solibieda, who left the firm to join BASF Venture Capital as managing director in November 2016. At Mandarin, Gehrt will focus on origination of deals for direct investments by the GP's second vehicle, Mandarin Capital Partners II (MCP II), across the DACH region.
Prior to her new role, Gehrt worked as independent adviser at the Swiss family office Jacobs Holding and previously at German private equity house Quadriga Capital.
Mandarin has fully divested its 2006-vintage maiden fund, Mandarin Capital Partners SICAR, which brought an aggregate 2x returns to the fund manager, according to a statement. Currently, the GP is managing its second vehicle, MCP II, which launched in March 2013 and held a final close on €200m in January 2016, short of its €500m target. The vehicle has completed six investment to date.
