citybiz+ Former Aksia Exec Daniel Pincus Joins Parkway Capital as Senior Associate

Lutherville, Md.-based Parkway Capital, the mezzanine unit of Calvert Street Investment Partners, last week announced the appointment of former Aksia executive Daniel Pincus as a senior associate.

In a LinkedIn post, Calvert Street said Pincus “helped build out the valuation and portfolio management function” at Aksia, a New York-based specialist research and portfolio advisory firm providing alternative investment solutions to institutional investors.

“He has over 8 years of experience in underwriting and portfolio management with a focus on the middle market,” the LinkedIn post on Aug. 31 said, adding that Pincus holds a bachelor of arts degree in Mathematics from Skidmore College.

Pincus’ “experience in credit underwriting and analysis, with a particular focus on the lower middle market, makes him a strong fit with Parkway’s culture,” said Parkway co-founder Chris Pope. “He will be a value-added member of the team involved in all aspects of sourcing, underwriting, and portfolio management.”

Pincus, based in Boston, has previously worked at Valuation Research Corp., TD Bank and Blue Hills Bank.

Calvert Street Investment Partners, which also has offices in Newton, Mass., operates two units — Parkway Capital, which provides flexible junior capital solutions to lower-middle market companies, and Crescentia Capital, which is in private equity.
