IMS Group and its investment management division, IMS Capital Management (IMS CM), are pleased to announce the appointment of John M. Caccia, Esq. as Chairman effective July 1, 2026.

Mr. Caccia will be resident in the New York office of IMS Group and will play an active role in the development of IMS CM. Prior to his appointment as IMS Chairman, Mr. Caccia practiced law in Skadden’s New York office. On June 30, 2026 he concluded his tenure as senior partner in the Investment Management practice after more than 25 years at Skadden.

The founder and CEO of IMS Group, Anastasios Papadopoulos observed: “We are delighted to welcome John as Chairman and Partner at this defining time for the business as we expand our global activities, including our newest office in New York and an increased focus on capital management, powered by our leading tech and the extraordinary reach of our cross-border transaction network.”

Co-GP relations with elite fund managers in private equity, private credit, and digital assets will be a particular focus for the incoming Chairman. Mr. Caccia is keen to co-design funds which are responsive to the current tectonic shifts in private capital, public markets, and digital assets that are, together with geopolitical forces, reshaping the global investment and capital management landscape.

Mr. Caccia commented: “I am delighted to join the IMS Partnership and to contribute to this exciting moment for the Group as it expands its portfolio and reach in U.S. markets. The IMS Partners’ dynamism and vision are inspiring to me. Its advantages in tech, venture and AI resonate powerfully for the transaction pipeline targeted by IMS Group for 2026 and 2027.”
