Manhattan West

Investment firm Manhattan West announced the promotions of Jim McCoy, who assumes the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Vik Sasi, who is appointed Chief Strategy Officer. McCoy and Sasi join Manhattan West’s leadership team alongside CEO and Founding Principal, Lorenzo Esparza.

McCoy is appointed the firm’s new COO after serving as Executive Director – Investor Relations on Manhattan West’s Private Equity team for the past year and a half. In his new position, McCoy will build out Manhattan West’s alternative asset management distribution strategies while continuing the evolution of its vertically integrated platform of services and investments.

In his new role, Sasi will implement strategic plans to build Manhattan West’s private wealth and alternative investments platform. He’ll also work with McCoy on growth initiatives. Sasi joined Manhattan West in July 2021 after several years in early-stage venture capital at premier firms including Dreamers VC, AmFam Ventures, Healthbox, and others. Previously, he served as a strategic advisor to the Ministry of Health in Haiti, where he lived for several years, starting as an analyst with the Clinton Foundation.

Based in Los Angeles, Manhattan West celebrates six years in business after Esparza broke away from J.P. Morgan to launch the firm.
