Searchlight Capital Partners Hires Mitchell A. Ring as Senior Advisor, Global Consumer Packaged Goods

Searchlight Capital Partners announced today that Mitchell A. Ring has joined the Firm as Senior Advisor, Global Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG). In this role, Mr. Ring will be intimately involved at a senior level in all the firm’s CPG activities, where he has considerable experience from his time at H. J. Heinz Company.

Prior to joining Searchlight, Mr. Ring was Senior Vice President, Business Development at Heinz, where he successfully led the global expansion of the business in developed and emerging markets, while realigning the product portfolio against core competencies. Under Mr. Ring’s leadership, Heinz was recognized as one of the most creative, proactive and successful corporate dealmakers.

“We are excited to have Mitch as part of the team,” said Eric Zinterhofer, a founding partner of Searchlight. “We believe Mitch’s breadth and depth of global experience is an excellent fit with Searchlight’s consumer efforts and investment philosophy.”

“What I particularly like about Searchlight,” said Mr. Ring, “is that I will be working closely with the three founders, who are hands-on, experienced investors with strong track records. In addition, the firm is young and entrepreneurial, though it already has a global presence with offices in New York, London and Toronto.”
