Building H.I.G. Capital

Mnaymneh founded H.I.G. Capital with Tony Tamer in 1993 after working at Blackstone and Morgan Stanley. The firm built its reputation around middle-market investing and later expanded across private equity, credit, real estate, infrastructure and other alternative-investment strategies. [1][2][3]

H.I.G. says it now manages about $75 billion of capital, has more than 500 investment professionals and has invested in more than 400 companies since its founding. The firm operates across the United States, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. [2]

Leadership transition in 2026

H.I.G. appointed Brian Schwartz chief executive in April 2026. Mnaymneh moved from the CEO role he had held since the firm's inception to executive chairman, while remaining involved in investment committees and the firm's strategic direction. [4][3]
