MeltX is pleased to announce that Hemal Patel has joined the firm as Managing Director.

Hemal brings more than a decade of secondary advisory experience from Campbell Lutyens, where he worked with leading institutional investors, fund managers and secondary market participants across both the UK and US markets. During his time at Campbell Lutyens, Hemal played an important role in the development of the firm’s US presence, including helping to establish its New York office.

At MeltX, Hemal will lead relationships with the secondaries community, supporting the firm’s mission to create a more efficient, transparent and institutional-grade marketplace for LP-led transactions.

Stuart Hanson, Co-Founder of MeltX, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Hemal to the MeltX team. He brings deep expertise, a strong network, and first-hand experience of building secondary advisory capabilities across the UK and US. His appointment is an important step as we continue to scale MeltX and deepen our relationships with the most active participants in the secondary market.”

Hemal joins MeltX at a time of continued growth in LP-led secondaries, as institutional investors increasingly seek more efficient ways to manage liquidity, rebalance portfolios and access high-quality private markets exposure.

Hemal Patel, Managing Director at MeltX, said: "MeltX is addressing a clear need in the secondary market. I am excited to join the team and help grow the platform to improve access, efficiency and execution for both buyers and sellers."
