Richey Reneberg is the Global Co-Head of Investor Relations and Marketing at Taconic Capital, a global event-driven alternatives manager founded in 1999 by former Goldman Sachs Partners, Frank Brosens and Ken Brody.

Richey’s career path into the industry is atypical so I was excited to share his story.

Prior to joining Taconic in 2000, Richey spent thirteen years competing on the professional tennis circuit reaching a career high of #20 in the world in singles and #1 in the world in doubles. He was a five-time member of the US Davis Cup Team and represented the United States in the 1996 Olympics.

Richey shares how personal connections created an opportunity into the investment industry and how skills learned on the court transferred to the business world.

We then uncover some best practices through the lens of an IR person.  Whether you are engaging with a GP on ODD or monitoring a manager in your portfolio, Richey provides some insights from his 20 years in the business on how to create strong GP and LP relationships.
