New York, July 08, 2026 – Thalēs, a technology-driven capital raising and derivatives brokerage firm, today announced the promotion of David Modiano to President of Thalēs Capital Partners.
Modiano has been with Thalēs through an important period of growth and evolution for the firm, helping expand its capital strategy, investor relationships, manager coverage, and broader market positioning. His work has strengthened the firm's relationships with institutional investors, family offices, and differentiated investment managers across the hedge fund and alternatives landscape.
“David has been instrumental in helping shape the next chapter of Thales Capital Partners,” said Marc Cohen, Founding Partner and CEO of Thales. “He understands both sides of our business: what exceptional managers need in order to grow, and what sophisticated investors are looking for in a crowded market. His promotion to President reflects our confidence in his leadership and in his ability to help us expand the platform while staying true to what has made Thales successful: differentiated ideas, strong relationships, and an entrepreneurial culture.”
In his new role, Modiano will focus on expanding the Thalēs Capital Partners platform, attracting exceptional talent, and further strengthening the firm's position among differentiated investment managers and sophisticated allocators.
“Our short- to medium-term objective is very clear: we want to grow the business, attract the best people, and build a platform where talented, driven individuals can succeed,” said David Modiano. “We are especially focused on people who are confident, entrepreneurial, and willing to bet on themselves in an environment that directly rewards production, initiative, and long-term value creation.”
Thalēs Capital Partners will continue to focus on investment strategies where the firm believes it can provide a differentiated edge. This includes managers operating in niche, specialized, and often undercovered markets that may not receive the same level of attention from traditional capital raising or capital introduction teams.
“Some of the most compelling managers in the market either manage, or have the capacity to manage, hundreds of millions to several billion dollars, while operating in strategies that are highly specialized, less crowded, or simply less understood by the broader allocator community,” Modiano added.
As part of that strategy, the firm intends to continue expanding its senior bench across capital raising, investor coverage, manager origination, and strategic advisory, adding professionals who bring judgment, relationships, and execution capabilities.
