BKM Capital Partners Names Bill Galipeau to CFO Post

Newport Beach-based BKM Capital Partners recently named Bill Galipeau as chief financial officer. Galipeau is a veteran financial and investment management leader who most recently served as EVP and head of investment operations at PIMCO Investment Management.

“Bill brings 25 years of extensive experience and a consistent track record of success in a variety of senior management positions with some of the world’s premier investment management firms,” said Brian Malliet, CEO of BKM Capital Partners. “Bill is expected to accelerate the growth trajectory of BKM, and will play a critical role in building and scaling our fund and logistics platforms as a key member of the senior leadership team.”

The addition of Galipeau marks the third senior-level executive to join the BKM team in its Newport Beach office in the past three months. Harry B. Hedison joined as senior managing director of capital markets and investor relations in September and Susan Rounds was named managing director of operations in August.

“This is a particularly intriguing moment to be joining the BKM leadership team, given the growing institutional interest in the small- and mid-bay, multi-tenant industrial sector,” said Galipeau. “My extensive institutional fund management experience aligns well with the next phase of BKM’s growth that expands on the foundation Brian and the leadership team have created over the past eight years.”
