She brings with her many relationships and experience across the globe working with firms’ strategic efforts and new product development.”

“For the past 18 years, our core investment efforts have always been, and continue to be, focused on the U.S. Lower Middle Market, targeting companies with $35 million or less of EBITDA,” Ted Koenig continued. “We have been fortunate to expand our efforts in areas such as healthcare, software, technology, FinTech, real estate, litigation finance, and structured credit, among others. We look forward to Monroe Capital’s continued growth, as we seek to find new and attractive adjacencies in direct lending where we can continue to generate ‘alpha’ for our limited partners and other investors.”
