Mel Buffier (pictured), whom the litigation funder described as being a “highly regarded senior investor relations professional with more than 20 years of finance and capital markets experience”, will serve as Omni Bridgeway’s new head of investor relations.

In a statement, the funder said: “Ms Buffier is skilled in designing and managing stakeholder communication programs for complex business and market issues, including corporate reporting, capital transactions, strategic positioning, and exceptional market disruption events such as COVID-19.”

She will be responsible for managing strategic communications and engagement with Omni Bridgeway’s global investors that includes the group’s shareholders and its fund investors.

Speaking about the appointment, Omni Bridgeway chief executive and managing director Andrew Saker said: “In recognition of the sector’s growth, the status of our diversified global investment portfolio and the transition of our business strategy from balance sheet funder to fund manager, we are increasingly focused on our engagement with investors, governance and market disclosure.

“Mel’s appointment reflects the changing nature of our business and recognition of the strategic importance of our interactions with our investors. She brings significant experience in capital markets, governance, corporate reporting and investor engagement to the role which will enhance our ability to engage with our key stakeholders. I am thrilled to welcome her to our team.”

Ms Buffier added: “As investor demand continues to grow for dispute resolution finance worldwide, I’m excited to join an industry leader, and look forward to building engagement with Omni Bridgeway’s global stakeholders.”
