In her new role, Ms Davis will help oversee the alternative investment manager’s organic and inorganic growth initiatives across geographies and asset classes.
She will report directly to executive chairman Mohammed Alardhi, and continue to be based in London, maintaining her existing position as head of portfolio operations and chief operating officer of Investcorp’s European Private Equity business.
