Former BlackRock Executive Violet Osterberg Named Chair of ACERO CAPITAL Advisory Board

Appointment strengthens ACERO's drive to channel institutional capital into Caribbean and Latin American growth

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ACERO CAPITAL Inc. ("ACERO"), the Barbados-based investment and financial advisory firm, today announced the appointment of Violet Osterberg, former Managing Director and Global Head of Private Placements at BlackRock, as Chair of its Advisory Board.

The appointment comes at a pivotal moment. Global capital is increasingly seeking strategic opportunities in stable jurisdictions, while the Caribbean and Latin America face significant capital gaps in transportation, utilities, renewable energy, digital infrastructure and sustainable tourism.

Osterberg brings a long track record of building and scaling investment platforms at leading global institutions. Her expertise spans investment platform strategy, multi-cycle portfolio leadership, cross-border private credit structuring and deep capital markets relationships.

"We are honoured to welcome Violet as Chair of our Advisory Board," said Gregory N. Hill, Founder and Managing Partner of ACERO. "Violet has a rare ability to design institutional-grade structures that meet the needs of both issuers and international allocators. Her leadership will accelerate our impact across the Caribbean and Latin America."

ACERO advises governments, major corporations and regional development entities on national infrastructure programmes, capital markets modernisation and tailored financing structures that build long-term economic resilience. Its regional strategy targets infrastructure, climate-resilient development, renewable energy, logistics and specialty financing.

Osterberg will strengthen ACERO's ability to deliver well-structured, transparent and scalable proposals that advance national development priorities while meeting the return and risk requirements of institutional investors.

"The Caribbean is entering a new era of investment," said Osterberg. "ACERO's longstanding advisory work with governments and major companies gives the firm a unique vantage point. I am excited to help expand a platform that brings thoughtful capital, rigorous analysis and long-term partnership to a region with extraordinary potential."

As Chair, Osterberg will guide ACERO as it expands its platform, deepens its government and corporate partnerships and extends its private-market advisory work across the region.
