Piper Sandler has added Tim Light as Managing Director of Secondary Capital Advisory within its Private Capital Advisory group, expanding the investment bank’s capabilities across GP-led and institutional secondary transactions. Light will be based in New York.
He will advise private equity sponsors and institutional investors on secondary market transactions, including GP-led continuation vehicles and other strategic liquidity solutions.
