ICG expands global client business with two senior hires focussed on the Americas

North America
ICG already enjoys a long-standing and deep pool of Americas-based capital, and these leaders will help drive its further growth, says Alan Isenberg, Global Head of the Client Solutions Group

ICG, the global alternative asset manager, today announced the continued expansion of its Client Solutions Group (“CSG”), with two senior appointments:

  • Brant Gresham joins as Managing Director, Head of US West, where he will lead a dedicated team covering institutional LPs across the US West. Brant will be based in California.
  • Felipe Sotomayor joined in April as Managing Director, Latin America, and will be based in Chile, marking ICG’s first appointment in Latin America and an expansion of the firm’s strategic presence.

Brant joins ICG from Blue Owl, where he served as Managing Director and Head of Institutional Capital for North America – West. Prior to Blue Owl, he was a Senior Vice President at PIMCO, responsible for client coverage and business development. Brant also served as an officer and F/A-18 pilot in the United States Navy.

Before joining ICG, Felipe was CEO of Credicorp Capital Asset Management Chile, where he led the firm’s asset management platform in Chile and its distribution efforts across Latin America. His appointment follows a long‑standing and successful partnership with ICG, having worked together for more than a decade, raising significant pools of capital for several of the firm’s strategies across the region.

These appointments follow several other senior CSG hires across the Americas in the past six months, including Luke Schlafly as Global Head of Insurance Client Solutions, based in the US, and David Scudellari as Senior Advisor for Canada. The firm’s continued investment in client coverage across the Americas reflects a material increase in commitments from the region.

Benoît Durteste, CIO and CEO of ICG, commented:

We are committed to continued investment in our global client business, reflecting the growing demand from LPs to partner with ICG. The Americas are central to this effort, underscored by the decision to base our global client leadership in the US and to make these senior hires. As LPs increasingly diversify beyond local US-based GPs, we are well positioned to meet that demand.

They embody ICG’s commitment to content-led client engagement and long-term relationship development, which will serve our current and prospective LPs well. ICG already enjoys a long-standing and deep pool of Americas-based capital, and these leaders will help drive its further growth.
