Raelan Lambert

My profile picture is of Bow Bridge in Central Park. When I was sixteen, I visited New York City for the first time. I wrote my dad a letter, and years later, he showed me a part that said, "I can't wait until I'm a successful businesswoman here!" Fast forward, and there I was, after telling Goldman Sachs that they would “be a fool NOT to hire me!” embarking on a career in NYC. My time in New York in those early years opened my eyes to new people and ways of thinking and provided me with opportunities to work around the world. It also led to me to my husband (we got engaged in Central Park not too far from Bow Bridge after 9-11) and shaped the woman and leader in private markets I am today. I will always remain a New Yorker at heart. I specialize in connecting the dots, leading by example and driving results through influence. Educating and engaging diverse stakeholders fueled my success in developing innovative, Alternatives’ investment solutions that address market gaps. With Marsh McLennan’s first-ever General Partner commitment, I am proud of the foundational work that led to the firm’s commitment to put capital behind alpha-generative private equity strategies. With 20+ years in Alternatives investing, I'm passionate about creating durable investment approaches and solutions that deliver exceptional value for clients while advancing industry-wide progress in areas, such as liquidity solutions, co-investments, secondaries, private credit, and other specialized Alternatives offerings. I thrive on identifying ambitious growth opportunities that position organizations at the forefront of the evolving investment landscape. My leadership approach centers on building high-performing global teams through clear organizational design, accountability frameworks, and a deep commitment to talent development. I am known as a committed mentor to many, keen to share the “Cliff Notes” and give others a leg-up. I was the first in my family to get a college degree and my two younger sisters followed suit. We each self-supported our college education, and despite humble beginnings, we all turned out to be leaders in our respective domains. Those who know me know my personal motto is “la crème de la crème”, meaning “the cream rises to the top”. I’ve encountered setbacks and challenges throughout my life and my professional career, yet have always held the belief that eventually, the cream will always rise. In my experience, it most certainly does. For a full version of my resume, please contact me via LinkedIn.
