Welcome back to Private Market Talks! In this episode, we are joined by Shanna O’Reilly, co-head of Private Investments at Wellington Management, one of the world’s largest investment managers. Shanna helped drive the growth of Wellington’s Private Investment platform to where it now manages over $8.5 billion of AUM. During our conversation, we discuss how she built the platform by leveraging the firm’s public market expertise, particularly in late stage venture capital.
We cover the nuances of venture investing, risk diversification, the challenges of managing growth, and her strategy to lean into some of today’s hottest areas like credit real estate, debt and secondaries. To wrap up, we reflect on the keys to navigating a competitive landscape and essential qualities for building a unified and dynamic investment team.
