Chronograph, leading provider of portfolio monitoring solutions for institutional private equity limited partners and general partners, today announced an expansion of its presence in the Middle East and Asia with the hiring of Benjamin Humphrey-Gaskin as Client Development Director based in the United Arab Emirates.
Private capital is undergoing a structural shift, and nowhere is that more visible than in the Middle East and Asia. Sovereign wealth funds, pensions, and family offices across the region are increasingly building out complex investment programs, deploying direct investments alongside traditional fund allocations, expanding into private credit and infrastructure, and, in tandem, demanding the best technology to streamline data and workflows. With 5 of the 10 largest LPs in the world and 8 of the 10 largest GPs now leveraging Chronograph, the platform is increasingly the solution of choice for the world’s most sophisticated private capital investors. As a provider of technology to a long-term asset class, Chronograph is committed to continuing this expansion of its regional team to engage and support clients and new opportunities.
Benjamin joins Chronograph from the Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), where he served as Head of Investment Technology for nine years. In that role, he led end-to-end ownership of a multi-asset investment technology portfolio spanning front, middle, and back office systems. Prior to ADIC, he was a Senior Manager at EY advising sovereign institutions and asset managers on technology and operating models, and earlier served as a Senior Business Analyst at eFront delivering customized private equity solutions.
Charlie Tafoya, Co-Founder and CEO of Chronograph, commented, “We’ve been fortunate to partner with many of the leading investors in the region, and the strength of that adoption has reinforced our commitment to investing locally. Bringing Benjamin onto the team is another milestone for us on this growth trajectory. His experience deploying investment technology at one of the world’s most sophisticated sovereign wealth funds gives him a rare understanding of the challenges these institutions face, and he knows what it takes to turn portfolio data into actionable insight at institutional scale. We’re excited to have him leading our efforts in the region.”
Benjamin added, “I am delighted to be joining Chronograph at such a pivotal moment. This is a company I have followed closely for many years, watching its reputation grow from strength to strength. Investors in the region are demanding best-in-class systems, and the ability to truly understand their portfolios and access the highest quality data is one of the foremost challenges they are looking to solve. Chronograph is perfectly positioned to meet exactly that need. I look forward to helping build the firm’s presence and driving real impact for clients.”
