LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pantheon, a leading global private markets investor, today announced that Leif Lindbäck has joined the firm in April as a Partner in its Private Equity Secondaries team, based in London. Lindbäck brings more than 25 years of investing experience, with deep expertise across the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sectors.

Lindbäck joins from CVC Capital Partners, where he most recently served as Co-Head of TMT Europe. Over the course of his tenure, he has led and executed a range of investments and helped scale businesses across software, digital transformation, and technology-enabled services.

Lindbäck joins Pantheon as the firm continues to expand its global $13.5 billion¹ private equity secondaries platform. In his role, Lindbäck will help originate and execute investments in GP-led opportunities and contribute more broadly across the Private Equity Secondaries platform. He brings significant direct buyout expertise, further strengthening Pantheon’s origination and underwriting capabilities in GP-led secondaries, an area of increasing focus and specialization as the market continues to evolve.

“We’re excited to welcome Leif to our team. His appointment reflects our ongoing commitment to scaling our Private Equity Secondaries platform, particularly in the fast-evolving GP-led market,” said Amyn Hassanally, Global Head of Private Equity Secondaries at Pantheon. “With over two decades of private equity investing experience, Leif’s origination and underwriting capabilities, transaction judgment, and strong network of relationships across the European market will be highly valuable as we continue to grow the platform. Leif joins us at a time when the technology sector is evolving in real time, marked by rapid innovation and shifting dynamics. He will play a key role in shaping the firm’s strategy as we navigate this changing landscape.”

Leif Lindbäck, Partner at Pantheon said: “Pantheon has built a highly respected global secondaries platform and a strong reputation for partnering with both GPs and investors to deliver differentiated and bespoke solutions. As the GP-led market continues to evolve, I believe Pantheon is well positioned through its scale, long-standing relationships, and investment expertise to capitalize on the opportunity ahead. I am excited to join the firm and contribute to the continued growth of the business.”

Prior to CVC Capital Partners, Lindbäck held senior investing roles at Blackstone and Charterhouse. Across his career, he has invested across a range of transaction types, including control, minority and structured investments, and has worked extensively across the UK and continental Europe.

Pantheon has been a pioneer in private equity secondaries for nearly four decades, with a track record dating back to 1988. The firm has committed over $28.2 billion across more than 480 secondaries investments,² spanning both LP-led and GP-led transactions. Pantheon continues to see strong momentum in and appetite for secondaries, driven by increasing demand for liquidity and portfolio management solutions from both investors and fund managers.

The firm’s dedicated GP-led platform includes Pantheon Secondary Opportunities Fund II which, along with related vehicles, raised $1.1 billion in total commitments and closed in 2025, reflecting continued investor demand for high-quality continuation vehicle opportunities. More broadly, Pantheon manages approximately $13.5 billion in assets³ across its private equity secondaries funds, supporting its ability to lead complex GP-led transactions and partner with managers on tailored solutions.
