Aeterna Capital Partners is not tied to a strict private equity fund structure, allowing for a long-term perspective and flexibility in its investments. The firm is committed to structuring 'win/win' outcomes with its partners, backing people rather than being volume-driven. The name 'Aeterna' is derived from Latin, meaning everlasting or eternal. The firm's leadership includes Patrick McCloskey, the Founder and Managing Partner, who has a background in private financing practices at institutions such as Lazard, Lehman Brothers, and Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette/Credit Suisse. Throughout his career, Mr. McCloskey has participated in more than 150 private transactions, representing billions of dollars across various industries and geographic regions, including North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, India, and Australia. He co-managed Lazard's Private Placement Group as a Partner from New York and London, where he was jointly responsible for sourcing, structuring, and marketing private financing transactions on a global basis. Aeterna Capital Partners has a track record of aligning with sellers and management teams to create liquidity for founding shareholders and build upon the legacy created by a founder to maximize long-term value for all remaining stakeholders. The firm thrives in closely held situations and is respectful of the unique history and culture embedded in any underlying business.
