Igor Rozenblit, Managing Partner, Iron Road Partners

It is the middle of the financial crisis, and Igor Rozenblit is an in-house private equity lawyer managing the fallout. His phone buzzes and his stomach drops: the SEC is calling. The plot twist? They want to offer him a job.
Join us as we learn about Igor’s journey from private equity attorney, to founder and co-head of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Private Funds Unit, to his role today as an entrepreneur and leader of his own consulting business.
From 2010 to 2020, gross assets under management for private funds grew to over $17 trillion. We talk to Igor about his role in creating a new division within the SEC overseeing an industry segment experiencing exponential growth.
After his decade of public service with the SEC, Igor took his industry, business, and culture-building knowledge and founded his own specialist advisory firm, Iron Road Partners, focused advising clients in the private funds industry.
In this episode, Igor talks to us about building a business in a highly regulated industry, how regulators view their role in public service, and we get deep on what motivates people across all levels of an organization.
