H.I.G. Capital, a global alternative investment firm with $64 billion of capital under management, hired Whitney Ehrlich as managing director and head of private wealth management in its capital formation group.
Ehrlich has over 20 years of experience in the private wealth and high-net-worth sector and was previously a managing director and head of the U.S. family office business at BlackRock. At H.I.G., Ehrlich will be responsible for capital raising and investor relations activities within the U.S. intermediary and private wealth channels across the firm’s strategies.
“We are delighted to welcome Whitney to H.I.G. and the Capital Formation team. Whitney’s extensive experience and long tenure in the private wealth markets will be instrumental in further expanding our presence in this important segment,” Jordan Peer Griffin, executive managing director and global head of capital formation at H.I.G. Capital, said. “H.I.G. has consistently benefited from a diverse, global, and long-standing limited partner base, including private wealth intermediaries and high net worth investors. We look forward to deepening and expanding these relationships and providing compelling alternative investment opportunities in the less efficient middle market.”
