Human Capital Redefined
About
Most professionals trying to move into the private markets aren’t failing because they’re underqualified. They’re failing because they don’t know how to be seen, heard, or understood in the right way.
​
You might have the credentials. The experience. Even the right trajectory.
But if you can’t position your story clearly — if your value isn’t immediately obvious to an investor — the process can stall fast.
That’s where The Andesite Room comes in.
This isn’t generic coaching. It’s not mindset fluff.
This isn’t generic coaching. It’s not mindset fluff. It’s tactical, high-trust performance advisory — designed for professionals preparing to break into private equity, infrastructure, credit, or other private markets roles.
Why This Exists
I’ve spent over 15 years recruiting across the investment ecosystem — placing talent directly into investment teams at leading funds, as well as into their portfolio companies. I’ve seen what happens behind the scenes — how funds make hiring decisions, what causes hesitation, and what gets people hired.
Whether it’s growth equity, mid-market PE, infrastructure, credit, real estate, or secondaries — I’ve worked with firms at every stage of the capital stack, across Europe, the UK, and globally.
I know the difference between a CV that reads well and one that opens doors. I know the red flags that stop an offer in its tracks — even for brilliant people. And I know what the top 5% of candidates do differently.
The Andesite Room is a space for you to get clear, get confident, and get hired — with none of the fluff and all of the precision.

What Makes This Different

It’s strategy and preparation for people who are serious about performing well — in conversations that could define their career.
