It is with deep sadness that Squircle Capital announces the passing of our Founder and Managing Partner, José Caireta, after a short illness. Our thoughts go out to Jen, Miguel, Irene and the rest of his family.
José was an extraordinary individual, touching the hearts of those he came across and leaving lasting impressions on anyone he dealt with, both personally and professionally. His charm, charisma and unparalleled ability to see the world like no other were attributes for which he shall be remembered. Whilst the news of his tragic passing will come as a shock to many of us, it is with fondness that he shall be remembered by all – a gentleman with a positive outlook on life, unquestionable elegance and infinite ideas and visions that would have needed centuries for anyone else to carry out but him.
As Squircle Capital continues forward in his legacy, our founder-inspired philosophy will remain the same: to create long term value whilst leaving a positive impact on businesses, investors, and society.
A previously established transition plan will see John Nery become the firm’s Managing Partner. John joined the business in 2018 as Managing Director and Head of Investments and worked alongside José throughout the last 6 years as the business has grown across Europe and beyond.
On Behalf of:
The Board of Directors,
Squircle Capital Partners, S.à r.l.
