Dr. Alexis Crow Named Managing Director of G2 Investment Group
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- G2 Investment Group, the New York based investment management company, announced today that Dr. Alexis Crow has joined G2 as Managing Director where she will be responsible for developing business and investment strategies for the company. Prior to joining G2, Dr. Crow led a project from the London-based think-tank Chatham House which facilitated a dialogue between policymakers, business executives and thought leaders on how to effectively manage risks and secure commercial interests amidst financial volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.
"Dr. Crow will play a critically important role in building relationships between governments, sovereign wealth funds, and the private sector, and also identifying key geopolitical opportunities for G2 and our partners," said Todd Morley, Founder, Chairman and CEO of G2 Investment Group. "We are pleased to have her join as partner."
Dr. Crow will bring the relationships she has developed with foreign ministries and sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia to G2 in order to identify and create investment opportunities for the firm. With a family background in the energy business (her grandfather is the renowned energy forecaster Henry Groppe), the approach Dr. Crow developed to facilitate Western engagement in growth markets, and eastern participation in Western institutions – directly aligns with G2's mission of investing in areas of human need, including energy, food, water, and communication, on a global scale.
"I am delighted to join G2, as the firm's track record, optionality, and global partners and shareholders provide an ideal platform to meet the world's most important needs with bespoke solutions. Engaging with an Indian family office on how to meet their investment needs requires a very different approach than addressing a financial services company in Midwest America: in order to ensure sustainable, long-term profit, it is intrinsically important to work with investors with an approach tailored to their own preferences."
The ability to meet human needs in accordance with differing cultures is crucial in a time in which financial advisors are grappling for insight into the contours of the current investment environment, and potential avenues for sustainable profit. The ability to mediate and to communicate across different power structures, and to provide solutions that are fine-tuned for individual preferences for investment behavior, is aligned with the Company's approach in identifying what pillars of need are relevant for individuals and families tasked with the requirement to diversify beyond their current asset holdings and to creatively redeploy capital.
About G2
G2 Investment Group was founded by a group of private investors who saw a unique moment to capitalize on the complete and global reset of asset valuations resulting from the 2008 financial crisis. As a company, G2 operates upon the premise that there is an unprecedented opportunity for asymmetric returns - or convexity - by investing in assets of basic human need, including energy, food, water, shelter, and communication. This produces a historic moment for smart, active and liquid investors.
By bringing authentic capitalist solutions to individuals and institutions, attune with local preferences, G2 provides a platform to flexibly and quickly respond to market dislocations. G2 features an unconflicted investment platform which marries investment thesis with the best available human capital in the world. In particular G2 favors asset operators rather than financial sponsors.
From its unique network of global partners and shareholders, G2 cultivates a superior knowledge base to provide pragmatic solutions for long-term profit and growth in an age of financial extremes.
