Hilltop Private Capital, a New York-based private equity firm investing in lower middle market companies, announced that Ed Moss has joined the firm as a Partner after 12 years as a Managing Director at Lincolnshire Management. 

Moss opened a new Los Angeles office for Hilltop in April giving the firm a strong national presence. He is a member of the Hilltop investment committee and focuses primarily on investment sourcing and portfolio oversight.

Previously, Moss opened and headed Lincolnshire’s Los Angeles office where he focused on sourcing buyout opportunities in the West.

Subsequently, he was a founding Managing Partner of Kline Hawkes growth equity and a founder of Alexander Dunham, a boutique investment bank. Current board and advisory positions include Del-Val Food Ingredients, Sadurni International Holdings and AgCap Partners. Moss earned his BA from Williams College and an MBA from the Yale School of Management.
