Adams Street names new head of growth equity

Robin Murray has been promoted to head of growth equity investments at Chicago-based Adams Street Partners, succeeding Terry Gould, who will remain an active member of the team before transitioning into retirement from full-time work during 2021. Murray along with Dave Brett, head of co-investments, was promoted to the firm’s executive committee at the beginning of this month. Gould joined the now $41 billion firm nearly three decades ago and has led the Adams Street Growth Equity team and been a member of the executive committee for over twenty years. “We welcome Robin and Dave to the executive committee,” said Jeff Diehl, managing partner at the firm. “Their experience and perspective will help shape the strategic direction of the firm as we navigate 2020 and beyond. I am confident that their respective strategies will thrive under their leadership.” Murray joined the firm as partner in the growth equity investment team in 2008 and is based in Adams Street’s Menlo Park office where he focuses on the technology sector. He is a member of the growth equity investment committee, the diversity and inclusion committee, and the ESG committee. Brett is in Chicago and joined the firm in 2005 as head of co-investments and chairs the co-investment committee. While Adams Street has been making co-investments since 1989, the firm only opened its first dedicated co-investment commingled fund under Brett’s leadership in 2006.
