Based in New York, Hansen will direct the firm’s infrastructure, including business technology, engineering, and information systems. He will work directly with investment and operating teams to modernize how the firm handles portfolio management and underwriting. His arrival signals a push to embed advanced data analysis deeper into the firm’s core operations.

Hansen brings a track record of digital transformation to the role. During his twelve-year tenure at TPG Angelo Gordon, he served as Managing Director and Head of Product and Application Development, where he led cloud migration projects and the overhaul of portfolio analytics. Before that, he managed Global Markets Electronic Trading Technology at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Jonathan Kaplan, Canyon’s Co-Chief Operating Officer, noted that Hansen’s experience at the intersection of investment management and technology is essential for identifying new market opportunities.
