Patrizia appoints Gus Wiseman to bolster UK investment

Patrizia has named Gus Wiseman as director, UK Product, based in London. 

Gus Wiseman - Patrizia

Wiseman brings extensive experience from the UK Government, where he was most recently the global head of Investor Relations at the Office for Investment. In this capacity, he collaborated with ministers, policymakers, and institutional investors to shape the UK's investment strategy, playing a key role in the "Sterling 20" initiative, which sought to direct domestic pension capital into productive investments such as infrastructure, housing, and private markets. His expertise lies in capital mobilisation, policy design, and public-private partnerships, making him well-suited to bridge government objectives and investor needs.
At Patrizia, Wiseman will support the firm's UK capital development strategy by working with leadership to cultivate relationships with both domestic and international investors. His goal is to identify new, long-term capital sources that align with Patrizia's strengths in the built environment, with immediate attention on social and affordable housing, regeneration, and social infrastructure—sectors where institutional capital can drive significant change.
Wiseman will also leverage his deep knowledge of government, public policy, and regulatory frameworks to foster strategic engagement within the UK investment landscape. By drawing on his policymaking experience, he will ensure Patrizia’s investment strategies align with evolving policy priorities, regulatory changes, and national objectives, enabling the firm to create commercially attractive and socially impactful investment solutions.
Wiseman's previous government roles involved working closely with various stakeholders to develop frameworks that support long-term investment in productive assets, and he is widely recognised for his contributions to the UK's approach to pension capital mobilisation and public-private investment partnerships.
Simon Redman, global head of Product at Patrizia, commented: “Gus brings exceptional insight into how government, policy and institutional capital interact. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to scale our UK platform, develop new investment strategies, and deepen partnerships across the investment ecosystem. This is a highly strategic appointment that strengthens our ability to deliver long-term solutions for investors in areas such as housing, infrastructure and regeneration.”
Gus Wiseman commented: “Patrizia has established a highly differentiated real assets platform, with a strong focus on impact, sustainability and long-term value creation. The opportunity to help connect public policy objectives with private capital at scale is compelling, particularly across housing, infrastructure and social investment. I look forward to working with the team to support Patrizia’s continued growth in the UK and to help shape investment strategies that deliver both strong returns and meaningful outcomes.”
