The need
Multiple hires in their Global Infrastructure Debt business across New York and London
Ares have been continually strengthening and growing their Infrastructure debt business over the last couple of years since acquiring AMP’s Infrastructure debt team. In 2023 Ares reached final closing on its Infrastructure Debt Fund V, having raised $5bn, and now the team are fundraising for Fund VI imminently.
In order for Ares to continue to be one of the leaders in the infrastructure debt market, One Search have partnered with them globally to bolster their teams in both New York and London across a range of levels.
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.
