History
Linzor was
founded in 2006
Tim Purcell, Alfredo Irigoin and Carlos Ingham co-founded Linzor Capital Partners after leaving J.P. Morgan. In 2007, Linzor closed on its first fund with $181.5 million of capital commitments and made its first investment. In 2010, Linzor added offices in Mexico and Colombia, and a year later, completed the final closing of its second fund with $465.4 million of capital commitments. In 2015, Linzor raised its third fund, which garnered $621.2 million in capital commitments.
Most of the partners worked together at J.P. Morgan, in some cases, since the late 1980s.
Tim Purcell and Alfredo Irigoin had been responsible since 1996 for the proprietary direct investments made by J.P. Morgan Capital Corporation in Latin America and in 2000, they had founded J.P. Morgan Partners Latin America, one of the leading private equity funds in the region.
Today, the firm has eight partners, a majority of which met professionally during their time working at or with J.P. Morgan, which gave them a strong foundation in disciplined investing and valuable professional relationships throughout the region. Several of the partners have further developed their careers as investment professionals at Linzor and have been promoted from within the firm, demonstrating Linzor’s commitment to talent development and long-term succession. The partners form a cohesive team with substantial experience working together and exceptionally strong networks across Latin America.
