Greenman Investments Welcomes New Chief Executive Officer

DUBLIN, Mar. 04, 2026 – Greenman Investments (Greenman), a Dublin-based Alternative Investment Fund Manager, has announced the appointment of Neil O’Keeffe as its new chief executive officer.

O’Keeffe succeeds co-founder John Wilkinson. He will take responsibility for Greenman’s day-to-day leadership and operational governance, working closely with Wilkinson, who remains an executive director of the company with a focus on the different fund strategies.

Greenman manages three ELTIFs—Greenman OPEN, Greenman NEXT and Greenman Harvest “B”. Their holdings include supermarkets in Germany, Poland, and France; renewable energy infrastructure serving commercial, residential, and over 3,000 EV owners in Germany and Poland; and recent investments in agriculture in Germany and France. The total value of these investments exceeds €1.3 billion.

O’Keeffe will lead the development of Greenman’s digital ELTIF platform and oversee the expansion of Greenman’s funds across EU Member States, pending required approvals. In addition to driving geographic growth, O’Keeffe will implement AIFMD 2.0 measures, such as enhancing liquidity management tools to broaden investment access for EU investors.

O’Keeffe joins Greenman from Apex Group, one of the largest fund service providers in the world, where he served as global head of legal – capital markets and corporate solutions. He is a senior regulatory and product development executive with more than 20 years’ experience across private practice and industry and has worked extensively with regulated investment funds and asset managers across multiple jurisdictions, including AIFM and management company structures, capital markets, private equity, real estate and infrastructure.

Commenting on the appointment, O’Keeffe said:
“It is an honour to take on the role of CEO of Greenman Investments. I have great respect for what John and the team have built over the past 20 years. Greenman has a clear focus on delivering sustainable income through the core assets it manages, alongside a strong commitment to innovation with the development of a regulated European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) mobile platform available across the EU.

Building on its long experience, Greenman is at the forefront of two major European investment trends: the drive to open up core real estate and infrastructure assets to retail investors, and the broader movement to onshore European capital into European infrastructure. This strategic shift, combined with the company’s commitment to innovation, makes this the ideal opportunity to add value with my experience.

I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued development and supporting its next phase of growth.”

Wilkinson said:

“Neil brings deep knowledge of legal and regulatory issues, especially when it comes to cross-border fund structuring and organisation. He shares our belief that ELTIF investments are set to become a go-to option for European investors, opening up new paths for some of the €10.4 trillion held in bank deposits by households across Europe. Everyone in Greenman is looking forward to working with Neil to create the structures and strategies that will serve both our current and future fund investors.“
