Private Credit

In this saturated market, visionary asset managers are creating niche offerings across direct lending, opportunistic credit, and distressed and special situations. They’re raising funds for BDCs and CLOs and launching credit-secondaries strategies. Keeping pace in this rapidly evolving industry will take a new breed of private credit leaders.

Working with clients of all sizes—from major asset managers, through mid-market credit firms, to newly-seeded asset managers—we build agile leadership teams, portfolio managers, originators, and underwriters.

Understand private credit opportunities

In a competitive private credit market, we advise leaders on how to scale through value-added niche capabilities. This includes creating and delivering talent strategies to find and develop leaders with expertise in sectors, regions, and experience across the capital structure. We ground our advice in a deep understanding of the competition, so we can show you where the white space is. And we use our unrivaled breadth of executive relationships to support M&A activities that deliver on your talent strategy.

Build the leadership to enter the private credit market

To unlock the value of private credit, we work with asset managers to find, assess, and develop forward-thinking executives who can build new businesses. Our executive search consultants have the experience and expertise to find diverse leaders with the vision to win in new growth markets. And our leadership assessment and development consultants identify, articulate, and harness teams’ collective capabilities to drive innovation.
