Hamilton Lane appoints two to board

Hamilton Lane, a listed US alternative asset manager, has appointed two independent directors to its board.

Leslie Varon joined the board earlier this month. She was most recently chief financial officer at Xerox, a technology multinational, where she worked for ten years in various roles. Varon will also serve as chair of the audit committee.

David Berkman also joins the board. He co-manages Associated Partners, a US private equity firm with offices in Philadelphia and New York. The firm invests in telecoms and infrastructure. He also serves on the boards of Entercom Communications, Actua Corporation and Franklin Square Holdings.

Hamilton Lane listed on the NASDAQ exchange in February, raising around $170 million in net proceeds for a $1 billion enterprise value.
