Carlos Alonso has over 30 years of international operating experience in the healthcare industry, most recently as President of the International Division at Hill-Rom Holdings.

Denis Ribon, Chairman, commented, “We are thrilled with the addition of Monica, Justin, Anthony, Carlos and Nick to the ARCHIMED team. They bring a wealth of experience to the firm, expanding on the 45 professionals in Europe who also have significant US operating and investment experience. The US is a key market for us, as our European investments derive most of their revenues from this side of the Atlantic. Our proven success in this market was reinforced in 2020 by four completed investments across the healthcare IT, medical devices and CRO sectors. Our recent investment in Ohio-based NAMSA, a global leading medical device CRO business and add-on of New York based Syntactx are great examples of our demonstrated expertise of scaling market leading healthcare businesses globally.”

Justin Bateman, Partner, commented “I am excited to be joining the team at ARCHIMED. They have established a world class combination of healthcare, operational and investment professionals alongside its MedTalentsTM network that are highly appealing. ARCHIMED’s target sectors have significant international reach, and the Firm’s operational capability in both Europe and the US are valuable drivers to maximizing growth and delivering outsized investment returns for our limited partners.”
