Private Markets Hire for a Family Office

Recruiting a Head of Private Markets Investments for a multi-billion-dollar family office

The opportunity

A prominent single-family office sought a Head of Private Markets Investments to oversee their private markets portfolio. The role demanded a strategic shift as the client wanted to transition away from fund investments and more towards direct investment opportunities, requiring expertise in both approaches to maximize portfolio value and drive future growth.

What we did

We conducted an extensive retained search across the UK and European private markets landscape, engaging with 110 candidates from diverse backgrounds.

Our systematic approach targeted professionals from both asset owners and private markets firms, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of talent with the requisite combination of fund and direct investment experience.

The outcome

Through our methodical search process, we successfully identified and placed a candidate who brought the precise blend of fund management and direct investment expertise required to lead the family office’s strategic evolution in private markets. The placement provided the client with the leadership needed to execute their vision of increased direct investment activity while maintaining oversight of their substantial fund portfolio.
