BC Partners Revamps Top Private Equity Ranks, Three to Exit

BC Partners, one of Europe’s oldest and best-known private equity firms, is overhauling its leadership team in moves that will see three of its partners leave.

The firm has been communicating the changes to investors this week, according to people familiar with the matter and a letter sent to investors seen by Bloomberg News. The most senior departure is Jean-Baptiste Wautier, chief investment officer of the private equity business and a member of the firm’s management committee, who will leave at the end of January. Chris Mogge and Pascal Heberling, both partners in private equity, will leave this year.
