We believe that Brian, Tony, Steve, and Shant are well-positioned to lead the firm forward, building on Littlejohn’s strong foundation, investment discipline, and collaborative culture. As we move into our new roles, we do so with great confidence that Littlejohn has the right senior leadership team at the helm for long-term growth and success.”
Mr. Michaud added, “It is a privilege to assume this role within an organization I deeply admire. I look forward to working closely with Littlejohn’s leadership team to deepen our culture of integrity, excellence, and grit that first drew me here early in my career, advancing our portfolio companies, and delivering results for our investors. On a personal level, I am grateful to Tony, Steve, Michael and Brian for the confidence they have placed in me and mentorship throughout my career.”
