Steven Young, who represent a unique blend of investor-operators capable of bringing operational know-how and leadership to middle market portfolio companies.〔 ==History== HGGC was originally co-founded as H&G Capital Partners by Messrs. Benson, Lawson and Young alongside Jon M. Huntsman and Robert C. Gay. Prior to co-founding H&G Capital Partners, businessman and philanthropist Jon M. Huntsman founded Huntsman Chemical Corporation, the largest manufacturer of polystyrene in the United States. Robert C. Gay was a long-time Bain Capital managing director, who gained additional prominence due to his connection to former Bain Capital alumnus and presidential candidate Mitt Romney.〔Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=40266198〕 Shortly after launching as H&G Capital Partners, the firm was sued in 2008 by H.I.G. Capital, which argued that the H&G name would cause confusion with H.I.G. in the marketplace. H&G Capital Partners agreed to change its name to Huntsman Gay Global Capital in recognition of two of its most senior founding partners.〔"H.I.G. Battles H&G In Name Dispute." Buyouts, April 28, 2008.〕 Robert C. Gay, who had served as CEO of Huntsman Gay Global Capital since inception, accepted a calling in March 2012 to work full-time with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as First Quorum of the Seventy.〔Fortune http://fortune.com/2012/04/02/exclusive-bob-gay-leaving-huntsman-gay/〕 Following Mr. Gay’s departure, Gary L. Crittenden assumed the role of CEO at Huntsman Gay Global Capital. A year later, in 2013, Huntsman Gay Global Capital rebranded itself once again to the simpler HGGC, along with making some top management changes. Richard F. Lawson, Jr. became CEO, taking over from Gary L. Crittenden, who became Chairman.〔〔The Wall Street Journal http://blogs.wsj.com/privateequity/2013/08/29/hggcs-next-play-a-new-fund/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HGGC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
