JTC appoints BVCA vet to build out PE and VC offering

Service provider JTC recently announced that it selected Martin Punt, an experienced private equity and venture capital specialist, as director for fund and corporate services. Punt is stepping into a position where he is tasked with supporting the firm’s alternative fund presence in the UK, where he is based.

JTC noted that Punt most recently worked at Jenson Funding Partners, where he served in a senior position and supported its early-stage portfolio companies. Prior to that, Punt was with the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA), where he was involved with member engagement.

Punt’s new tasks will include building out JTC’s private equity and venture capital offering. He will have a geographical focus on the UK and the Channel Islands, JTC added.

The new hire is also responsible for developing the company’s relationships with intermediaries.

Additionally, Punt will help the firm with increasing business for its existing fund and corporate services.
