Following a period of sustained growth, leading private capital search partner Finatal has expanded its private capital team. Michael McConnell has joined the business and will be focusing on providing private wealth solutions to funds looking to build out these dedicated functions.
With over a decade of executive search experience, Michael has a demonstrable track record of placing top private bankers and investment managers, specialising in the expansion of investor relations, distribution, and investment teams for high-growth private capital firms.
Michael McConnell, Principal, said: “I am thrilled to have joined Finatal – the business has become the go-to for private capital recruitment, known for helping private equity and venture capital businesses to build success. I am particularly excited to bring tailored expertise to clients looking to develop their private wealth offerings. By focusing on high-calibre talent with specific expertise, we’re uniquely positioned to help clients achieve ambitious growth in this competitive and evolving market.”
Charlie Linacre, Managing Director, adds, “Offering private wealth solutions marks an important step in Finatal’s growth strategy. Michael’s impressive track record and in-depth industry knowledge make him the ideal person to drive this new initiative and provide our clients with the strategic hiring support they need in private wealth. I am very much looking forward to working with him.”
Finatal launched its private capital offering – recruiting investors, operating partners, IR professionals and fund finance experts for numerous private equity organisations – in 2020, on the back of its success recruiting into portfolio companies, and has since grown to a team of 15 consultants servicing funds directly. Finatal started in 2010 and now employs more than 100 people, with offices in London, Frankfurt and New York.
