The Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) has opened a new office in Washington DC to support the association’s growing membership and government affairs work in the US.
The opening of the DC office will allow AIMA to deepen relationships with local regulators and policy makers and work collaboratively with other industry bodies on behalf of the alternative investment industry.
Jiri Krol, deputy CEO of AIMA and global head of government affairs, will relocate from London to lead the Washington DC office.
Krol will continue to maintain his responsibilities, including overseeing policy and regulatory engagement in Europe and the Asia Pacific.
In addition, Krol will be appointed global head of the Alternative Credit Council, AIMA’s private credit affiliate and representative of the private credit industry. Krol will work closely with Michelle Noyes, head of AIMA, Americas.
Jack Inglis, AIMA CEO, said: “We believe this opening will deliver excellent support to members and build on the success that our Americas offices, led by Michelle Noyes, have already achieved.”
He added: “Krol has led our government and regulatory affairs work during a period of intense change in the global landscape. He will continue to lead this global effort and provide important support to our many members in the Americas, where we continue to grow.”
Krol commented: “I look forward to working with members and colleagues to expand our offering in the Americas and to strengthen the voice of the alternatives industry in government and among key stakeholders, especially the investor community.”
