Recharge Capital Appoints Margaret Wang as Managing Partner for Women's Health Strategy & APAC Operations

Margaret Wang has been named Managing Partner of Recharge Capital, a notable $6 billion thematic-first private investment firm, with an emphasis on heading its Women's Health Strategy. Ms. Margaret, the previous Executive Director and Head of Bridgewater Associates Singapore, will also supervise the firm's Singapore office and Asia-Pacific (APAC) activities.

Margaret has vast expertise as a senior executive in global asset management and financial services firms. She previously worked as the Director of Strategic Initiatives at Paxos, a blockchain infrastructure provider, and as the Head of Product Partnerships at Squarespace (NYSE: SQSP), where she led partnerships with companies such as Apple, Google, Facebook, PayPal, Chownow, Acuity Scheduling, and Zola. At Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, she began her career in strategy and business development.

"Margaret's appointment is a catalytic moment for our firm," commented Lorin Gu, Founding Partner of Recharge Capital. She adds a wealth of knowledge to our thematic-first investing methodology, as well as a track record as one of the world's greatest asset managers across sectors. We're looking forward to the next stage of expansion, which will be bolstered by Margaret's knowledge."

Margaret will play a key role in Recharge Capital's thematic strategy, including Rhea Holdings Co., a $200 million women's healthcare-focused investment vehicle slated to open in June 2023. Through cross-asset class tactics, Rhea Holdings employs a revolutionary private equity structure to promote transformative development in the women's healthcare market.

"I'm thrilled to join the Recharge team and help drive value creation across key international markets," Margaret stated. "The firm's thematic strategy is well-positioned to foster innovation and societal impact across the value chain, and I'm excited to tackle the crucial challenges our world faces through our unique approach to investing in and building meaningful businesses."

Margaret Wang supervised Bridgewater Associates' on-the-ground activities and was instrumental in establishing and developing the firm's Singapore office to boost its footprint in the APAC area.

"Over the past several years, Margaret has played an important role in furthering our presence in Singapore by establishing and leading our office there," said Kyle Delaney, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Bridgewater Associates. We are excited to see Margaret in her new post and thankful for her contributions to the Bridgewater community."
