DENVER, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bow River Capital ("Bow River"), a Denver-based alternative asset manager, announced today that Greg Hiatrides, Head of Bow River's Private Equity team, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Hiatrides succeeds Blair Richardson, who founded the firm and has led it as Chief Executive Officer for 23 years. Richardson will transition to Bow River's Chairman, continuing to forge investor relationships and supporting the firm's strategic direction.

Under Richardson's leadership, Bow River expanded into a multi-strategy investment platform spanning private equity, private credit, real estate, and venture capital; the firm offers investors both closed end and evergreen strategies.

Hiatrides started his investment career in New York; prior to joining Bow River, he worked at KPMG Corporate Finance (formerly St. Charles Capital).

"I have often said that Bow River should be a forever firm, and today we're announcing an important step in making that a reality," said Richardson. "It is the right time, and Greg is the right leader to move our business forward. He brings a pragmatic, effective commitment to investment performance, a sound grasp of risk management and, most importantly, a deep appreciation of the fiduciary responsibility we have to our investors."

"I am honored to step into this role and grateful to Blair and our talented team at Bow River for building a firm with such a strong foundation," said Hiatrides.
