Inflexion Private Equity has made two new hires with significant healthcare experience.

Simon Tilley has joined as partner in the firm’s Partnership Capital team, meanwhile Ben Long has joined the firm as investment director in the Enterprise Fund team.

Tilley was managing director and head of European financial sponsors at DC Advisory, where he advised on transactions such as Oasis Healthcare and Southern Dental.

Long was previously at Duke Street where he was involved with the firm’s investments in Baywater Healthcare and Medi-Globe. In the past, he has also held posts at Echelon Capital Partners and Barclay’s Capital.

Simon Turner, managing partner at Inflexion, welcomed both to the team and said: “Inflexion has generated great momentum in the last twelve months, partnering with over 10 high growth businesses and backing their growth ambitions. As part of this, expanding our team is key to the value Inflexion brings its investee businesses; international expansion across the US and Asia through our locally based experts, technical excellence with our in-house digital director and targeted acquisitive growth strategies.”
