Configure Partners has launched a private capital advisory team, hiring Ravi Mehta as managing director and Jozef Lampa as vice president. Mehta joins from PJT Partners' private capital solutions group, while Lampa previously worked at Evercore. The hires bring deep experience in private markets to the New York-based firm that advises mid-market private capital managers.

The new team will focus on liquidity solutions for private equity sponsors and private credit managers operating in the private secondary market. Configure's leadership has already executed more than $17 billion in transaction volume across over 35 deals, establishing substantial credibility in this specialized market segment. This track record positions the firm to compete with established players in private capital advisory services.

The launch reflects growing demand for secondary market expertise as institutional investors seek liquidity options amid market volatility. Private equity and credit managers increasingly need sophisticated advisory services to navigate complex secondary transactions, creating opportunities for specialized firms like Configure Partners to capture market share in this expanding niche.

With veteran talent from top-tier advisory firms and significant transaction experience already in place, Configure Partners enters this market with immediate scale and credibility rather than starting from scratch.
