NorthWall Capital Promotes Artem Kontyaev, Scott Carpenter, and Garrett Holmes to Partner
London; April 23, 2026: NorthWall Capital (“NorthWall”), a leading European alternative credit specialist delivering private capital solutions to Western European counterparties, today announces the promotion of Artem Kontyaev, Scott Carpenter, and Garrett Holmes to Partner, effective immediately. These promotions recognise the leadership, judgment and impact each has brought to the firm, and mark an important milestone in their continued contribution to NorthWall.
At NorthWall, partnership is a recognition rather than an appointment. The firm does not promote people into leadership. Instead, we recognise leaders that already embody NorthWall’s values. Artem, Scott, and Garrett have each, over a sustained period, embodied this standard through their commitment to NorthWall’s values, their stewardship of colleagues and junior team members, and their credibility as representatives of the firm with investors, counterparties, and other stakeholders.
The promotions span NorthWall’s investment and operations functions reflecting the depth of the firm’s senior team driving continued momentum across a platform, with AUM in excess of €3 billion. Broadening the Partner group strengthens the leadership bench and supports greater delegation across the platform, enabling Fabian Chrobog, Founder and CIO, and Alexander Garnier, Founding Partner and Portfolio Manager, to focus on the firm’s strategic priorities.
Artem Kontyaev, one of the firm’s earliest hires, has been with NorthWall for nearly eight years, demonstrating NorthWall’s commitment to investing in people over the long term. Artem leads deal teams and drives origination across Western Europe, and has been instrumental in building and scaling NorthWall’s investment engine across the Credit Opportunities and Tactical Credit strategies. His promotion reflects a deep track record of sourcing, structuring, and managing complex transactions, and a sustained contribution to the firm’s investment performance and culture.
Garrett Holmes brings a uniquely broad contribution to NorthWall, spanning investment management, legal oversight, and overseeing the firm’s US presence. Over more than seven years at the firm, he has built and scaled the Legal Assets strategy alongside other senior team members. Working alongside the credit team, he brings a differentiated perspective to the legal assets strategy, broadening NorthWall’s platform offering. He also serves as Acting General Counsel and heads the firm’s New York office, reflecting the trust placed in him across the full scope of the firm’s activities.
Scott Carpenter joined NorthWall as Chief Operating Officer in 2024 and has since been instrumental in further institutionalising the firm’s operational infrastructure. His remit spans fund administration, compliance, technology, finance, legal, and people. His promotion to Partner reflects both the critical importance of operational excellence to NorthWall’s long-term success, and his leadership in positioning the firm for its next phase of growth.
Fabian Chrobog, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of NorthWall, commented:
“I am delighted to recognise Scott, Artem, and Garrett as Partners. NorthWall has grown into a leading institutional platform in European private credit, and these promotions reflect the depth of our senior team. Partnership recognises sustained leadership, a commitment to our values, and the trust of those around you. The three new partners have demonstrated genuine care for our team, built excellent relationships with our counterparties, and maintained a deep commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our investors. Broadening our partnership allows us to delegate greater responsibility across the platform and positions the firm for its next chapter of growth, while demonstrating our commitment to building a long-term sustainable infrastructure.”
Alexander Garnier, Founding Partner and PM of NorthWall commented:
I have worked alongside Artem, Garrett and Scott for many years, and that has been one of the genuine privileges of building NorthWall. Each has played a distinct and defining role in shaping the firm into what it is today. What stands out most is the quality of their judgement, their sense of ownership, and the consistency of their execution. These are core attributes that define ‘partnership’ at NorthWall. Artem, Garrett and Scott are individuals who have been operating at that level for some time now and who will be central to the firm’s continued growth.”
