The promotion, one of four at the firm, comes as the investment firm seeks over $1bn for its fourth flagship.
Charlie Bott joins the firm's global advisory board, having retired from the UK buyout manager in 2018.
The number of secondaries buyers is still 'relatively small' and the penetration of the strategy needs to grow, president and COO Jonathan Gray told Secondaries Investor.
The appointment brings the total number of senior managing directors within the private capital advisory group to three.
The appointment comes one month after the firm's EMEA secondaries head Richard Hope became regional head across all strategies.
Kate Simpson has joined the advisory firm and placement agent as general counsel.
The promotions at the secondaries specialist comprise investment professionals in London and New York.
The promotions comprise two private equity professionals and one real estate-focused executive.
Richard Hope will replace Jim Strang, who becomes the investment manager's EMEA chairman.
