• 2 minute read
New York, NY and San Francisco, CA. October 9, 2025. Hg, a leading investor in European and transatlantic software and services businesses, today announces that Anna Tye will join the firm as a senior leader in North America and a Partner in Hg's Saturn Fund in January 2026.
Anna brings exceptional depth to Hg with over 16 years at The Carlyle Group, where she served as Partner and Co-Head of Technology Investing. She was instrumental in leading the build out of the financial technology practice where she led or was a key contributor to all the firm's North American investments across fintech including YipitData, Abrigo, Dealogic, ION Group and OpenLink Financial, among others. Anna was recognized on The Wall Street Journal's 2023 "Women to Watch" Pro PE list.
Anna will be based in Hg's New York office and will co-lead Saturn North America operations with Jon Wulkan in San Francisco. In addition to Hg’s large cap software strategy, Anna will focus on investments in financial technology and insurance. Her investment focus aligns well with the Saturn fund's strategic priorities, particularly in the intersection of software and data analytics.
Anna joins Hg following four senior hires across the US over the past few years, with Alan Cline joining as Head of North America, Paul Zuber as Operating Partner, North American Lead, Laura Grattan joining as a US Genesis Partner, and Farouk Hussein joining as a US Mercury Partner.
By strengthening the senior team in the US, Hg continues to build a leading transatlantic position in software investment, anchored by a leading position and scale in Europe. This strategy provides a compelling opportunity to support an increasingly transatlantic portfolio, with almost two thirds of Hg's $180 bn combined enterprise value of businesses comprising those that serve customers in both North America and Europe.
Anna Tye, Partner at Hg, said: "I am thrilled to join the team at Hg. As one of the world’s largest investors in software and technology with over $100bn under management, Hg is exceptionally well positioned to expand its leadership in this dynamic market. Hg has an impressive track record, outstanding culture, and has made huge strides in AI innovation across the firm and portfolio. The opportunity to work with such a talented team and to contribute more broadly to the leadership in North America is a once-in-a career opportunity and I am looking forward to getting started."
Nic Humphries, Senior Partner and Head of Saturn, said: "Anna is a fantastic addition to our US leadership team. I believe she will add immediate value as both an investor and as a leader, driving forward the Saturn Fund alongside Jon and the broader investment team in the US. We feel very fortunate she has chosen Hg to continue what has already been a very impressive and successful career in software investing."
Alan Cline, Head of North America, at Hg said: "We have gotten to know Anna well over several years and instantly recognized her as a natural cultural fit for Hg, adding to her clear investment acumen and leadership skills. Her deep expertise in enterprise software and fintech, combined with her proven ability to partner with exceptional founders and leaders, further strengthens our North American and Saturn leadership teams."
