“We are pleased to welcome Mark to Highbridge. This is a dynamic period in the industry, with simultaneous consolidation and growth.

“With his successful history of developing strong relationships with global institutional investors and deep understanding of their complex investment objectives, Mark will play a key role in Highbridge’s continued growth.” Dublin said.
“Joining Highbridge provides me with a unique opportunity to represent an institutional-quality firm with an outstanding global alternatives platform,” D’Andrea said. “It is an exciting time to be part of Highbridge’s global distribution effort as institutional allocators are increasing their focus on managers with long track records of delivering high quality alpha-generating solutions to their clients.”
D’Andrea joins Highbridge from BlackRock, Inc., where he led a team focused on business development and client service for many of the firm’s largest institutional clients. D’Andrea also spent nine years with Barclays Global Investors, where his efforts managing a team and overseeing several large strategic institutional client relationships were instrumental in developing and building BGI’s alternatives business.
