TSG Consumer Partners, a leading specialist private equity firm focused exclusively on the consumer sector, announced it has appointed Managing Director Beth Pickens as Head of its London office. In the role as Head of London, Beth will lead the team in originating new investment opportunities, structuring transactions, and managing partner companies in Europe.
TSG’s professionals partner across offices and geographies to support growing consumer brands in expanding their product offerings, service lines, distribution channels, and market reach. And Beth joined TSG in 2019 when the London office was established, working alongside Managing Director Colin Welch to drive the firm’s international expansion and collaboration.
Since establishing a London office in 2019, TSG completed its first European buyout of premium storage and services business Cadogan Tate and co-led the series D round in London-headquartered neobank Revolut. And TSG successfully sold its investment in German direct-to-consumer brand Canyon Bicycles to Groupe Bruxelles Lambert, and exited specialist online retailer Bergfreunde to Decathlon, the French global sporting goods giant. TSG’s latest investment, California-headquartered beauty brand Summer Fridays, is continuing its global expansion in partnership with Sephora Europe to serve growing international demand.
