Bertram recently announced the successful closing of Bertram Growth Capital III, L.P. & Bertram Growth Capital III-A, L.P. with $500 million of total capital commitments from limited partners.

"The promotions recognize the significant contributions Michelle, Alex, and Soraya have made to our firm as we continue to grow in a challenging and competitive market," said Jeff Drazan, Managing Partner. "Alex and Soraya have distinguished themselves as investment team members and Michelle has made many meaningful contributions to Bertram's business development efforts.
