Permira has appointed Caitlin Brodie as a managing director in its US capital formation team in New York City.
Brodie will lead investor engagement on the East Coast as the London-headquartered alternative asset manager intends to keep expanding its investor relationships across North America.
Joining from The Carlyle Group, Brodie held for 12 years the role of managing director in business development and investor relations. She previously also worked at SL Capital Partners (now Aberdeen), UBS and Lehman Brothers.
“I am excited to join the firm during a period of strategic growth and investment in the capital formation business,” Brodie said on her appointment.

Chris Buchanan, who earlier this year became partner and global head of the division, commented: “North America is an extremely important market for Permira, representing approximately one third of the firm’s capital raised since inception. It is also home to longstanding relationships with some of the world’s largest and most strategic institutional LPs, as well as a growing number of sophisticated private wealth clients.”
In 2025, the firm also hired Nader Salman as head of Middle East; Sean Lewis as senior director, leading US West Coast coverage; and Ryosuke Okazaki as head of capital formation for Japan.
“Over the past year, we have made considerable progress in strengthening our senior team, adding highly capable senior professionals in key markets including the Middle East, Asia, and North America,” Buchanan added.
