In this role, he advised global corporate and sponsor-backed clients on high-yield bonds and leveraged loan financings, supporting some of the biggest acquisition and expansion transactions in the market.

Hayfin said the appointment marks a strategic move as it expands its origination and execution capabilities to meet growing demand for larger private credit deals.

“Daniel’s appointment marks an important step in broadening Hayfin’s origination and execution capabilities. With larger transactions accounting for an ever-greater share of private credit deal volumes, access to and understanding of capital markets are critical,” said Marc Chowrimootoo, portfolio manager and co-head of direct lending.
