Langham Hall has appointed Elijah Kanevskiy as head of Luxembourg as it continues to invest in its European platform.
The firm, which provides fund administration, depositary and AIFMD (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive) services, said the appointment reflects the strategic importance of its Luxembourg office, a hub for European fund structuring, governance and AIFMD services across private equity, real estate, credit, infrastructure and other alternative strategies.
Kanevskiy joined from Revantage Europe, a portfolio company of Blackstone, where he served as chief financial officer. In that role, he acted as a director of multiple Blackstone-managed real estate investment entities and oversaw financial and operational matters across multi-jurisdictional structures supporting pan-European real estate strategies.
He brings more than 20 years of experience across real estate and private markets, with previous roles at Blackstone portfolio companies, Rhône Group and NorthStar Asset Management. He began his career in public accounting and qualified as a Certified Public Accountant in New York.
As head of Luxembourg, Kanevskiy will lead a 260-person team, supporting clients through fund launches and ongoing operations, and working with colleagues across Europe, the US and Asia.
Langham Hall bolsters Luxembourg team
Rob Short, managing partner at Langham Hall, said: “Elijah brings exceptional sponsor-side experience and a deep understanding of what fund managers need from their service partners as structures grow in complexity and expectations around governance and reporting continue to rise. Luxembourg is a critical jurisdiction for our clients, and this appointment strengthens our leadership and delivery capability on the ground.”
Elijah Kanevskiy, head of Luxembourg at Langham Hall, added: “Luxembourg remains central to European fund structuring, particularly for real estate and other private market strategies. Langham Hall’s partner-led model and focus on operational quality and governance strongly resonated with me. I look forward to working with clients and colleagues as we support launches and long-term delivery.”
