Transom Capital Group has appointed Dana Goldstein to the newly created role of Head of Investor Relations and Marketing.
In her new position, Ms. Goldstein will focus on expanding the firm’s limited partner relationships while managing marketing efforts for the firm and its portfolio companies.
“Dana is a leader, business builder, and an excellent fit for Transom,” said Russ Roenick, a co-founder and managing partner at Transom. “Her experience, knowledge, and creativity are an asset to Transom’s limited partners, employees, and the future of our firm.”
Earlier this month, Transom successfully closed Transom Capital Fund IV LP, raising $675 million in capital commitments. The fund surpassed its target and initial hard cap, more than doubling the size of the firm’s third fund. New institutional limited partners from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East participated in the fund. Over the past two years, Transom has also expanded its team, adding eight professionals to its transactions, operations, and business development groups.
Ms. Goldstein brings nearly 20 years of experience in investor relations and capital formation across the investment industry. Before joining Transom, she was a managing director overseeing investor relations at Anthos Capital (2022 to 2024) and Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (2017 to 2022). Earlier in her career, from 2006 to 2013, she served as a senior vice president in investor relations at New York City-based Avenue Capital.
Ms. Goldstein earned her undergraduate degree in finance and management from Washington University in St. Louis. She is also an active member of the Private Equity Women’s Investor Network and the Los Angeles Women in Institutional Investments Network.
“Dana builds trust with everyone around her, and we are delighted to welcome her to Transom. She’s well known, highly respected, and a great partner,” said Ken Firtel, a co-founder and managing partner at Transom. “With Fund IV progressing nicely on the back of top-quartile performance of our prior funds, we will continue to add exceptional talent to the team as we build for our future.”
Transom specializes in control investments in North American companies with up to $500 million in revenue, EBITDA up to $100 million, and enterprise values up to $500 million. The firm focuses on sectors including industrial, consumer, business services, and technology.
“Fund IV is off to a tremendous start with our team having already closed three platform investments, all of which we believe are positioned to perform strongly, and we have an expanding pipeline of promising future opportunities,” added Mr. Firtel.
With more than $1.5 billion in assets under management, Transom is headquartered in El Segundo, California, near Los Angeles.
