Governance & Strategic Oversight

• Help establish an internal investment committee with voting authority on key strategic or

• Collaborate with compliance, legal, and executive leadership on fund governance and risk

frameworks

vehicles

Partnerships & Expansion

• Identify and close strategic capital partnerships to enable new fund launches or product

expansions
