Angelo Gordon announced that Alan Isenberg, former Head of Product Strategy and Marketing at Neuberger Berman, has joined the firm as Global Head of its Client Partnership Group. In this role, he is responsible for leading the firm’s worldwide client and product functions, including new business development, client coverage, product development and management, and client service.

Isenberg will report to Josh Baumgarten, co-Chief Executive Officer of Angelo Gordon, and succeeds former Global Head of Investor Relations Garrett Walls, who will remain a senior advisor to the firm until his planned retirement at year-end.

“Alan is a seasoned client and product leader with deep, substantive relationships across the industry. He brings a rare blend of product strategy, global investor engagement, and talent management experience to this important role,” said Baumgarten. “We look forward to Alan’s contributions as we continue to execute on the firm’s strategic initiatives, deliver a thoughtful and focused client experience, and maximize value for all of our investors.”

Isenberg added, “Few firms offer Angelo Gordon’s unique combination of strengths: outstanding investment-focused leadership that drives performance and client responsiveness, a private ownership structure that supports long-term alignment, and a culture that encourages collaboration and rigor. I look forward to working with our talented client partnership professionals to continue strengthening our ability to serve current and future investors.”

At Neuberger Berman, Isenberg served on the firm’s Operating Committee and was a senior sponsor of NB Pride, that firm’s LBGTQ+ affinity group. Previously, Mr. Isenberg was with PIMCO, serving as Executive Vice President, Head of Strategy and Business Management for its Asia-Pacific business. He also served as an account manager in PIMCO’s U.S. institutional business, where he focused on public pension clients. He received a BA in Diplomatic History from the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude, as well as an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and a JD from Stanford Law School. Mr. Isenberg is also a CFA Charterholder.

Isenberg’s appointment follows several recent additions to Angelo Gordon’s senior team, including Head of ESG Allison Binns and Chief Strategy Officer Scott Soussa.
