Wednesday, June 26, 2019
Opalesque Industry Update - Commonfund Capital, the private capital subsidiary of Commonfund, announced today the appointment of Xiaonan Tian as Associate Director and Head of its investment office in Beijing, China. Xiaonan will be responsible for the oversight of due diligence, manager selection, investment monitoring and portfolio construction for the firm's private equity and venture capital investment management programs in the Asia-Pacific basin.

Xiaonan joins Commonfund Capital from The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) where she served as Senior Vice President in Structured Banking and built relationships with leading private equity and venture capital players across China. Before HSBC, she spent more than seven years with Deutsche Bank's Private Equity arm in Singapore, where she was one of the founding members of Deutsche Bank's Asia private equity team and helped build up the firm's regional private equity investment and operation platform.
