The need

Multiple hires in their Global Infrastructure Debt business across New York and London

The Appointments

One Search has been in partnership with Ares since 2013 and during that time we have appointed 18 individuals into the infrastructure debt team globally, which equates to 73% of the infrastructure debt business across London and New York.

Most notable recent achievements have been placing a Partner into the London team in 2023, Lorenzo Ceretti from GIP who was Head of Infrastructure Debt, as well as a range of other hires from Managing Director down to Associate level globally.

One Search has been my loyal partner for the last fifteen years as I have built the platform. They have hired people at all levels from Partner down to Associate, and when I look at the current team I realize One Search brought in more than 70% of them. I am not aware of any search firm who comes close to One Search in the infrastructure sector, and I have no hesitation in recommending their service.
