A Note From the Big Path Capital Team
As summer comes to a close, we at Big Path Capital are celebrating new beginnings — from welcoming new family members to recognizing exciting changes among our team.
In a bittersweet farewell earlier this month, we bid adieu to long-standing team member Isabel Whelchel. An analyst at Big Path, Isabel was a critical member of the Big Path family.
Of her departure and next chapter, Isabel shared this with us: “As I step into my next role, I know the relationships I’ve built at Big Path and my understanding of the market will be incredibly valuable. I will miss this team deeply, but I am excited about what’s next!” We wish her the best of luck as she works to obtain her MBA through Fulbright’s Binational Business Program in Mexico City.
We are thrilled to welcome Ged Noering, Big Path’s newest hire. He joins our remote group from New York, NY, as an analyst on the Placement Agency team led by J.D. Dell. Ged will conduct important research to support Big Path’s efforts on behalf of the private equity funds we represent. He is already hard at work learning our processes and systems. We look forward to introducing him to you in the near future.
Wishing you an enjoyable end to your summer,
The Team at Big Path Capital
