Previously, Grider was global head of fundraising and investor relations at Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, where she led investor engagement, capital raising, and strategic marketing efforts. Before that she headed investor relations for Tailwater Capital, was director of investor relations at NGP Energy Capital Management, and was a director at Sterling Stamos.
“I am thrilled to join Robert and the Braemont team at such an exciting time,” Grider said in a statement. “Braemont is known for its distinct investing approach and commitment to its partners, and I continue to be impressed with what the team has been able to achieve in such a short period. I look forward to working closely with the firm’s network to execute fundraising and co-investment strategies to support our investments and drive excellent outcomes for all our partners.”
