LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rede Partners, a leading independent fundraising advisor to the private equity industry, is pleased to announce the promotions of Alexandra Bazarewski, Magnus Goodlad and Bruce Weir to the role of Partner.
Alexandra Bazarewski leads Rede’s Americas Coverage team. Alexandra was Rede’s first US-based employee and opened the firm’s New York office, which has since grown to 15 people. During Alexandra’s tenure, building on existing strong North American Investor Coverage capabilities, Rede secured its first global fundraise for a US-based client. Since then, Rede Partners has built a cohort of US-headquartered client GPs, where the firm has successfully executed on global fundraises and bespoke advisory assignments. Rede is proud to have raised in total over €22 billion in capital commitments from North American LPs.
Magnus Goodlad leads Rede’s Transactions practice. Under his leadership, Rede has further entrenched its reputation as a leading GP-led transaction specialist, extending the team’s expertise into a number of innovative new transaction types, including NAV financing facilities and GP equity and credit transactions. In recent months, Rede’s transactions team has announced the close of four transactions for leading GPs worth in aggregate c.€1 billion, with a record number of additional transactions currently ongoing.
After joining as Rede’s first Chief Operating Officer, Bruce Weir has been instrumental in building Rede’s internal infrastructure and culture, underpinning the firm’s rapid growth trajectory whilst maintaining excellence in client service. During Bruce’s tenure, headcount has doubled in size to 90 professionals with major projects to support this completed across firm governance, digital architecture and training and development.
The partnership announcement comes as Rede celebrates its 10 year anniversary. Rede was founded in 2011 with a vision to work closely as a strategic partner with a select group of clients, supporting these clients to grow and enhance their long-term franchises.
Rede has advised on some of the most successful fundraisings and innovative transactions of the last decade with aggregate capital raised now exceeding €53 billion. Since January 2021, Rede has announced final closes for Avedon IV, Volpi Capital Fund II, TCV XI, PAI Mid-Market Fund, Verdane Edda II and Intera Fund IV. Up to seven more final closes are expected to be announced before year end.
Adam Turtle, Co-Founder said: “Alex, Magnus, and Bruce have all played critical roles in driving Rede’s recent successes. Together, the partnership has a strong vision for Rede’s next ten years – continue to innovate, challenge and grow while providing exceptional outcomes for our clients.”
Scott Church, Co-Founder said: “I am incredibly proud of how the firm has evolved and the role we have played in helping our clients achieve success.
