Osei Van Horne has departed from financial services firm Wells Fargo’s strategic investment arm, Wells Fargo Strategic Capital (WFSC), and joined US-based investment bank JP Morgan.
Wells Fargo hired Van Horne to lead WFSC in 2017 after a seven-year stint at investment banking firm Goldman Sachs’ merchant banking group, participating in areas including private equity, venture capital and corporate development.
Van Horne co-founded WFSC and served as managing director of its technology practice, where he invested in deals in fields such as cybersecurity, consumer, financial technology, the internet of things, logistics and property technology. Global Corporate Venturing named him an Emerging Leader in 2020 and featured him again this year.
At JP Morgan Private Capital, a recently formed unit focusing on the technology and consumer sectors, Van Horne will assume a managing partner role along with that of global head of sustainable growth equity investing, where he will target companies working to mitigate climate change and increase inclusive growth.
Van Horne is joined by fellow managing partner and global head of growth equity Christopher Dawe, a former co-head of Goldman Sachs’ private investment group. They will both report to the group’s chief executive, Brian Carlin, who had once been head of JP Morgan’s wealth management solutions group.
