HighPost Capital has promoted David Weston to Senior Managing Director for its Buyout/Late-Stage Growth Fund, expanding his leadership responsibilities while he continues to lead sourcing and diligence efforts across the firm’s core consumer-oriented sectors.
Based in West Palm Beach, Florida, HighPost said Weston will remain focused on identifying and evaluating new investments at the private investment firm, which targets companies shaped by shifting consumer behavior and innovation across products and services, as well as sports, media, and technology.
Weston joined HighPost in July 2023 as a managing director. During his tenure, he led the firm’s investment in Front Row Group and sourced and executed HighPost’s most recent investment in Equip Foods. HighPost said he serves on the boards of Front Row Group and Equip Foods, and also holds a board seat at Centr.
The promotion comes after what HighPost described as continued momentum in the consumer sector. The firm highlighted its June investment in Equip Foods, a protein supplements brand focused on products made from “100% real food,” with ingredients that are carefully sourced and third-party tested.
HighPost was founded by CEO David Moross and Mark Bezos and is part of Azimut Group.
