French investment firm Omnes Capital is building its Swiss activities, hiring a new partner based in Zurich to develop its investor base globally.

Paris-based Omnes, a 3 billion euro private equity and infrastructure investor, is expanding its footprint in Switzerland. The firm said it is hiring Miria Spaeth as a partner in its communications and investor relations team.

The German-born Spaeth began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Frankfurt, then Paris, moving to rival EY in Geneva.

Spaeth joined private equity firm Akina in 2007, initially in finance before leading that firm's marketing and investor relations roles for Europe.

The 40-year-old executive will be responsible for developing Omnes' business internally. She will report to managing partner Martine Sessin-Caracci.
