Principals

Institutional experience, focused on private credit

The principals bring the experience a private credit program depends on: credit structuring and workouts, oversight of operating businesses, real estate collateral and institutional capital. North Post Group applies it to one strategy: originating, structuring and managing senior, asset-backed private credit.

Private credit: Nearly two decades deploying and returning institutional capital in private credit and special situations
Private equity: Fifteen years of fund and portfolio operations, including a decade at a middle-market fund managing more than $10 billion
Real estate: More than $1 billion of completed office, retail, multifamily and mixed-use transactions in major US markets, as sponsor and co-investor
Institutional capital: Raises led across private credit, private equity and pre-IPO secondaries in the US and Asia
