Crosstimbers Capital Group Adds James Wang as Managing Director

Crosstimbers Capital Group has strengthened its investment operations with the addition of James Wang as managing director and member of its investment committee, based in Houston. Wang assumes responsibility for investment execution, portfolio monitoring, and asset management across the firm's portfolio companies.

Wang arrives at Crosstimbers from Ara Partners, where he held the position of managing director and principal. His career demonstrates substantial infrastructure and energy sector experience: during his tenure at First Reserve, he led the execution of over $2 billion in equity investments. He began his career in investment banking at Lehman Brothers, building a foundation in financial analysis and deal structuring across multiple cycles.

Crosstimbers focuses on building hard-asset businesses under a strategy called HALO, short for "hard assets and low obsolescence." The firm operates across digital infrastructure, water, power, and transportation sectors. Since its founding in 2016, Crosstimbers has established 12 platforms, reflecting an active deployment and portfolio-building cadence over the past decade.

David Hollon, co-founder and managing partner, characterized the hire as providing operating partners with a dedicated senior resource for portfolio and asset management oversight. Wang cited the firm's disciplined underwriting and operational rigor throughout the investment lifecycle as the primary draw to joining Crosstimbers. This addition reflects a maturation of the firm's infrastructure as it scales its platform portfolio and seeks to enhance post-acquisition operational capabilities.
