MOVES-Max Biagosch leaves UniCredit for CPPIB
By Claire Ruckin and Robert Smith
LONDON, May 20 (IFR) - Maximilian Biagosch has joined Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) as a senior principal, leaving UniCredit (Milan: UCG.MI - news) after a brief stint as head of high-yield bond syndicate.
The Italian bank hired Biagosch to run the high-yield syndicate in London in November last year. But a spokesperson for CPPIB confirmed that he has now joined the Canadian investment manager.
Before his short time at UniCredit, Biagosch worked at private equity firm Permira for seven-years, becoming head of their financing group in 2011.
CPPIB was in the news on Wednesday, after Altice announced it will buy 70% of US cable firm Suddenlink from existing shareholders BC Partners, CPPIB and Suddenlink management.
BC Partners and CPPIB will retain a 30% stake.
