The appointment supports Patrizia's continued expansion in the UK, reinforcing its position as a leading manager of domestic and international capital across real estate, impact, and infrastructure.
Wiseman joins from the UK Government, where he served as Global Head of Investor Relations at the Department for Business and Trade. In this role, he worked closely with ministers, policymakers, and institutional investors to shape the UK's investment engagement strategy and was a key architect of the Sterling 20 initiative, designed to mobilize domestic pension capital into productive investments across infrastructure, housing, and private markets.
Strategic Focus on Housing and Infrastructure
At Patrizia, Wiseman will focus on two strategic priorities.

Immediate areas of focus include social and affordable housing, regeneration, and social infrastructure.
Second, Wiseman will deploy his understanding of government, public policy, and regulatory frameworks to support strategic engagement across the UK investment ecosystem. Drawing on his experience at the heart of policymaking, he will help ensure Patrizia's investment strategies remain closely aligned with evolving policy priorities, regulatory developments, and long-term national objectives, enabling the firm to structure investment solutions that are both commercially compelling and socially impactful.
Policy Expertise and Capital Mobilization
Wiseman's experience spans capital mobilization, policy design, and public-private partnership development, positioning him at the intersection of government priorities and institutional investor needs.
Simon Redman, Global Head of Product at Patrizia, commented: "Gus brings exceptional insight into how government, policy, and institutional capital interact. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to scale our UK platform, develop new investment strategies, and deepen partnerships across the investment ecosystem. This is a highly strategic appointment that strengthens our ability to deliver long-term solutions for investors in areas such as housing, infrastructure, and regeneration."
