  • A proven track record of successful investment decisions.
  • Extensive relationship management experience, including primary responsibility for managing relationships with portfolio companies and other external stakeholders (investment partners such as General Partners and co-investors, as well as advisors such as financial and legal experts).
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills, with strong communication abilities (both oral and written) and outstanding presentation skills.
  • Demonstrated experience in leading, mentoring, and developing junior colleagues.
