Private Markets

We partner with private market investors to recruit senior investment, portfolio, and firm leadership across private equity, private credit, real assets, and hybrid strategies. Our work spans emerging managers building institutional infrastructure and established platforms navigating scale, succession, and market transitions. 

We understand the realities of private markets with capital deployment pressure, carry alignment, governance dynamics, and the need to balance investment rigor with operational execution. Our Experience: 


  • Private Equity and Growth Capital 
  • Private Credit, Direct Lending, and Specialty Finance 
  • Infrastructure, Energy, and Real Assets 
  • Secondaries and Structured Capital 
  • GP Stakes and Strategic Capital 
  • Family Office and Multi-Strategy Platforms 


Our searches are informed by an understanding of how investment teams are structured, evaluated, and incentivized over the life of a fund. 

Our Differentiated Approach

Private market hiring requires discretion, precision, and context. We approach each search as a strategic advisory engagement. Our work includes: 


  • Deep, targeted market mapping across peer and adjacent platforms 
  • Thoughtful assessment of investment track record and role-specific impact 
  • Insight into compensation structures, carry, and governance models 
  • A long-term view on succession planning and team evolution 


We help clients think not only about who to hire, but how that hire fits into the firm’s future state.


In private markets, talent decisions compound, positively or negatively, over a decade or more. The right leadership strengthens performance, culture, and LP confidence. The wrong hire introduces friction that is difficult to unwind. 


We help private market firms make deliberate, high-conviction talent decisions grounded in insight, discretion, and trust.
