Healthcare specialist SHS Capital has taken an important step in its long-term succession planning and is securing further growth.

Lukas Maucher, who joined SHS in 2022 from one of the Big Four auditing firms and has served as CFO since then, will take on the role of Managing Partner, overseeing finance and risk management at SHS and its fund vehicles. With the appointment of Lukas Maucher, SHS is relying on proven strength from within its own ranks.

"With Lukas Maucher we have appointed a highly qualified member of the management team from within the company," explains Hubertus Leonhardt. "His appointment to the Board of Managing Partners ensures that our private equity firm continues to meet the demanding regulatory requirements for the next generations of funds."

"I am very pleased with the trust placed in me," says Lukas Maucher. "My work will focus on managing the financial and risk management of SHS and its fund vehicles."

In addition, after 27 years as Managing Partner, Hubertus Leonhardt will transition to the Supervisory Board of SHS, which will be created in the coming months.

Leonhardt was one of the driving forces in establishing and positioning SHS as a leading European healthcare investor and was also responsible for finance and fundraising.

The SHS Capital Board of Managing Partners continues to comprise Sascha Alilovic, Uwe Steinbacher, and Manfred Ulmer-Weber.
