Family office-backed deal platform appoints MD

ShareNett, the recently set up US-based deal platform, has appointed a new managing director as it forges ahead to be a big player in the investment office deal sector. 

Marcia Nelson announced on LinkedIn she had been appointed managing director of the New York City-based ShareNett, which was launched in 2019. 

Nelson is a well-known individual in family office circles having worked both directly with them and at an advisory level for them for more than 20 years. 

ShareNett was set up by Clifford Friedman with backing from Paul Tudor-Jones, the billionaire hedge fund manager. Friedman, among other senior investment roles, use to work in a top position at Raptor Group Holdings, Jim Pallotta’s family office.

ShareNett says it has more than 400 family office members and earlier this year announced it would offer its members access to ClearList, a digital-trading platform for investors to buy and sell shares of private companies.
