Joe Reid joined Vector Credit, the credit strategy of Vector Capital focused on opportunistic and event-driven investments in telecom, media and technology (TMT) businesses, as managing director and head of marketing and investor relations. Reid is a seasoned industry executive who was most recently a managing director in marketing and investor relations at Monroe Capital. In this role, Reid will be responsible for overseeing the firm’s credit marketing and investor relations activities.

“Vector Credit has experienced strong momentum over the past 18 months as we continue to scale our team and attract top-tier talent. To that end, Joe is a proven marketing leader with nearly two decades of industry experience who brings deep relationships and a strong track record of raising capital. We are delighted to welcome him to the Vector team,” Nick Ghoussaini, portfolio manager of Vector Credit, said. “Moreover, as the TMT sector experiences significant dislocation, we believe our credit business is well positioned to capture attractive, risk-adjusted investment opportunities in the current, dynamic market environment and enhance our differentiated investment approach.”

Prior to Monroe Capital, Reid was vice president of relationship management at Ares Management. Previously, he served as director of business development at Pacific Asset Management and vice president of business development at LM Capital Group. Prior to his roles in business development, he worked in mutual fund sales at ING Funds and began his career as a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch.
