  • Represent the firm in international roadshows, client meetings, and industry events, reinforcing brand positioning in global institutional markets.
  • Provide ongoing feedback to internal stakeholders on product gaps, client demand trends, and regional strategy adjustments.
  • Deliver against ambitious fundraising and revenue targets, with clear accountability for regional performance.
