Brightwood Capital Advisors

Brightwood Capital Advisors is a private credit firm specializing in providing senior debt capital to middle market businesses. Co-founded in 2010 by Damien Dwin and Sengal Selassie, the firm has grown to over $5 billion in assets under management. While Dwin left to start a venture of his own, Selassie remained to grow the core business of direct lending – one of the fastest growing investment strategies over the last 10 years. The firm is dedicated to driving diversity and inclusion growth across private equity and private credit through its work with the Diversity in Action initiative. For more than 10 years, Brightwood's leadership team has fostered an inclusive culture to create advancement opportunities for talented people of all backgrounds. Today, women and underrepresented minority professionals comprise more than 60% of the Brightwood team.
