Background
Nazar Bilukha is a Vice President on the private equity investing team at Siris Capital Group, a technology-focused private equity firm headquartered in New York with additional offices in Silicon Valley and West Palm Beach. Siris specializes in control-oriented investments in mature, mission-critical technology and telecom companies — often take-privates and carve-outs — and has raised close to $6 billion in cumulative capital commitments.
He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (accounting and finance) from Emory University's Goizueta Business School, which he attended from roughly 2010 to 2013. Early in his career he gained experience across major financial institutions and a Big Four accountancy: reported career touchpoints include Deloitte (2012) and a summer at Deutsche Bank (2013) while a student, followed by HSBC (2014–2015) and the investment bank Lazard, where he worked before moving into private equity.
At Siris, Bilukha sits within the deal team responsible for sourcing, underwriting, and executing the firm's technology and telecom investments, and supporting portfolio companies post-close. His public skill set emphasizes financial analysis, modeling, accounting, and corporate finance — the toolkit of a mid-level PE investment professional working on complex, control-stage transactions.
Note: Nazar Bilukha does not currently appear on the published Siris investment-professionals roster (which lists team members from Managing Partner through Associate), so his tenure/status should be confirmed directly. Aggregator sites still list him at the firm as a Vice President.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests through Siris's control-oriented private equity strategy, not as an individual angel — deals are led by the firm, not personal seed checks.
- Sector: mature technology, technology-enabled services, and telecommunications companies with mission-critical products and services.
- Situation focus: businesses navigating industry change, operational transition, complex carve-outs, or take-private opportunities where deep operating and technical diligence can unlock value.
- Stage/structure: control buyouts and take-privates of middle-market companies — large equity commitments rather than minority venture rounds.
- What makes Siris say yes: durable, mission-critical products with sticky customers; a clear operational or strategic transformation thesis; and situations that benefit from the firm's specialized technology operating resources ("Executive Partners").
