Institutional fundraisers are hired for their consultant relationships and closed commitments — both painfully verifiable and routinely exaggerated. Our searches focus on anchor commitments personally led, not team credit.
Raising institutional capital — pensions, endowments, insurance, sovereign wealth, consultants — is a different discipline from wealth-channel distribution, and mixing the two profiles is the most common fundraising mis-hire we see. Gratus runs LP-fundraising searches with reference work aimed at the only question that matters: which commitments did this person actually originate and close?

Every profile here is a vetted, anonymized executive we have interviewed and referenced ourselves. Identities stay confidential — introductions happen through a conversation with our team, on the candidate's terms.
