Tayeh Capital Group has appointed Yumee Song as managing director, marking a strategic hire for the newly established private equity firm. Song brings extensive dealmaking experience to TCG after serving as a principal at RLH Equity Partners. Her career began in the M&A group at Merrill Lynch, providing her with deep financial markets expertise.

TCG launched this past October with backing from GCM Grosvenor and has quickly established offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Detroit. The firm's expansion comes amid a competitive recruiting environment in private equity, where experienced dealmakers are highly sought after. Song's appointment signals TCG's commitment to building a strong investment team from the outset.

Her transition from RLH Equity Partners to TCG represents a significant addition to the firm's capabilities in middle-market investments. The move comes as private equity firms continue to compete for talent with proven track records in executing complex transactions and generating returns for investors.
