GTCR has tapped Jodi Rubenstein as managing director of investor relations in the firm’s Chicago office. She will be responsible for coordinating all of the firm’s investor relations and fundraising activities, while also serving as a senior leader contributing to the firm’s growth plan and strategy, officials said.
Rubenstein served most recently as managing director and head of Midwest Private Wealth Management for Goldman Sachs in Chicago. She had headed of Goldman Sachs’ Alternative Capital Markets group in the Americas based in New York prior to that.
“Attracting someone with Jodi’s talent, experience, and perspective to lead GTCR’s engagement with its limited partners will serve as an immense benefit as the firm continues to grow,” said GTCR Co-CEOs Collin Roche and Dean Mihas in a statement. “The dialogue we maintain with our new and prospective investors is critical to our partnership approach and our ability to serve the needs of these constituents.”
Overseeing all aspects of the $27 billion firm’s investor engagement, including fundraising and investor communications, Rubenstein will participate in the private equity firm’s investment committee process and will work to communicate the firm’s investment considerations to its limited partners and others. In this newly established position, she has also been charged to join the leadership of many key initiatives across the firm including GTCR’s ESG and DEI efforts as a member of the firm’s ESG-DEI steering committee.
“I’m thrilled to join such a long-tenured and respected firm, and one that consistently maintains a relentless focus on generating superior investment performance,” said Rubenstein about joining GTCR. “Throughout my career, I have always believed that a culture of partnership and transparency between investment firms and limited partners is critical, and GTCR shares that philosophy.”
Earlier this year, the firm closed a strategic growth fund at $2 billion with an eye toward investing in smaller opportunities than its flagship fund, which raised $7.5 billion back in 2020.
