New executives bring nearly four decades of combined experience, underscoring firm’s recent growth
Ferghana Investment Partners LP (“Ferghana”), a hybrid capital firm providing flexible capital solutions to middle-market businesses, today announced the hiring of Katie Marshall as Managing Director and Will Callahan as Senior Managing Director. Both Marshall and Callahan will play significant roles in investment origination and execution, sourcing new opportunities as Ferghana continues its strong growth.
“Will and Katie’s overall industry, thematic, and regional expertise align perfectly with our mission to identify opportunities ahead of market consensus and position Ferghana to enter our next phase of growth,” said Hadley Ma, Founder and Managing Partner of Ferghana Investment Partners. “Their additions give us the ability to originate quality investment opportunities across the country at a much larger scale, in industries and regions that are often overlooked by other capital providers.”
Marshall joins Ferghana with 19 years of industry experience and will focus on investment origination and evaluation, with particular emphasis across the Midwest and Sun Belt regions. Prior to joining Ferghana, she spent her entire career at PNC Business Credit, where she most recently served as Senior Vice President of Originations.
Marshall brings significant experience originating and closing structured finance and ABL credit investments and serving as primary relationship lead with dealmakers and executives on complex credit facilities. In addition, her regional expertise and track record working with middle-market business owners will meaningfully expand Ferghana’s footprint, enabling the firm to tap into new sourcing opportunities and continue building strong, personalized relationships with founders, owners, and family businesses across the country.
Callahan also brings 19 years of industry experience and joins Ferghana from his previous role as a Partner at TZP Group, a lower middle-market private equity firm, where he led platform investments across residential and facilities services. He also served on the boards of Re-Bath, Superscapes, Results Roofing, and Christy Sports. Prior to his time at TZP, Callahan held roles at Comvest Partners, Technology Crossover Ventures, and Citigroup.
Callahan’s private equity background and thematic expertise will strengthen Ferghana’s origination capabilities. His ability to create and work with a wide variety of deal structures is particularly valuable for Ferghana’s middle-market focused capital solutions strategy.
These hires come after Ferghana’s launch earlier this year, backed by a strategic partnership with New Catalyst Strategic Partners. Ferghana has seen significant growth during that time, closing multiple investments in addition to building its team and platform, most recently with a close in July.
