As IDR continues to grow, servicing some of the largest private markets fund managers in the US and around the globe, we have invested in our client relations capabilities with the promotion of Rory Blazeby to Head of Client Relationship Management.
Rory will work with our global commercial team on both sides of the Atlantic to strengthen and grow our client partnerships. He also takes responsibility for expanding our client success team and leading key client service initiatives.
IDR CEO Tim Andrews says, “We’re committed to building and maintaining long term partnerships with our clients and their investors. We want our clients to grow with us and benefit from the network effects of being a part of our rapidly expanding private markets hub, as we continue to extend our offering across the fund lifecycle.
Investing in our client servicing capabilities as we support our fund manager clients to raise funds faster and deliver a better experience for both institutional and individual investors is therefore a critical component of our strategy for future growth.”
Rory says “With the private markets predicted to reach c$20trn of AUM by 2028, more needs to be done to centralise and streamline access to the asset class. Our clients are raising bigger funds, across multiple strategies and the complexity of their operational needs is increasing as they do so.
We therefore have a significant opportunity to further support them in meeting their fundraising and investor servicing objectives with our one-and-done solution for subscription, KYC and tax. We’re just getting started and moving into the next phase of IDR’s growth as Head of CRM to drive these opportunities is hugely exciting”
Rory’s background spans more than 10 years in the private funds industry. He joined IDR in 2021 and has worked across both the commercial and operational sides of the business.
“Rory knows our business and the industry inside out and is well liked across our client base. He is therefore ideally placed to take on this strategically significant new role and it’s a pleasure to welcome him onto our commercial leadership team” concludes Tim.
