What do you enjoy most about working at Asante?

The opportunity to work with world-class managers across various strategies in different geographies. This keeps our work both intellectually and culturally stimulating and I am constantly learning something new from my clients and colleagues every day. The global team has a shared vision to partner with the best-in-class managers in the industry and I truly believe we are working with some of the best GPs in our space. I very much enjoy connecting investors with our managers and delivering strong results for our clients.

What is the most important thing you’ve learned during your time at Asante?

Working as a team. Asante has a strong team-oriented culture and it is powerful to see us work as a one global team and drive results for our clients. We have a thoughtful incentive structure to motivate colleagues across offices to work as one team. I am often impressed with the outstanding outcomes achieved by our team for our clients. Achieving a globally diversified investor base with high-quality institutional investors is no easy task and definitely cannot be done by a single office, and I am glad to have witnessed and experienced this with many of our clients on our roster, given our global model.

What advice would you give to someone interested in joining Asante?

Be prepared to be part of a global team that works hard and plays hard. We are looking for all-rounded individuals who can contribute to all aspects of the private market advisory business, which sometimes means more work, but it also provides greater exposure and opportunity for someone to shine!
