The consulting firm said in a press release on Monday that Capocci’s mandate will begin on 1 October 2020 and run for 4 years.

Capocci is currently head of alternative investments, a post he took up in February 2017. According to KPMG’s announcement:

“He has extensive experience helping private equity and real estate players establish a foothold in Europe and, more recently, in aligning their fund management organization with the AIFM Directive.”

Capocci takes over from Philippe Meyer, with whom he will work during a 6-month transition period. Meyer became managing partner in October 2016.
