Stone-Goff Partners, a lower middle-market private equity firm, has hired Chaz Bertrand as managing director and head of business development. Based in the Boston office, Bertrand will oversee the investor relations activities for Stone-Goff funds, including co-invest opportunities, playing a key role in fund organization and managing transaction sourcing relationships.

Bertrand has spent the past twenty years as an advisor and investor at several Boston-based financial services firms. Most recently he worked with family offices and institutions to develop lower middle market acquisition and investment opportunities at Spindrift Capital and Breakaway Ventures.

“We are excited to welcome Chaz to the Stone-Goff team,” said Hannah Stone Craven, co-founder of Stone-Goff Partners. “His deep knowledge and relationships within the private equity ecosystem will allow the firm to expand our reach and enhance our capacity to work with a range of investors including family offices and institutions.”
