Emily’s promotion to Partner reflects her search expertise as well as her innate ability to forge lasting relationships with asset management clients. Together Suzanne and Emily have built the Investment Practice, recruiting senior investors and functional leaders in Investor Relations, Business Development, Finance, Legal, and Operations for venture capital, growth equity, private equity, and other alternative asset managers.
Kevin Barry, Managing Partner at SPMB, adds, “Emily has not only exceeded expectations, but has also set a new standard for leadership within our firm. Equally impressive is Emily’s dedication to her SPMB colleagues, always seeking ways to support and elevate those around her. 2024 has been a standout year for Emily, and this promotion reflects her continued growth, leadership, and impact.”
