Headhunter help for long/short credit

All,

As the title states, I need some help identifying the headhunters that work with the relatively large-scale credit managers. I have experience helping run distressed, long/short, and CLO money with a high level of autonomy at a $1.5b-ish manager.

Im looking to move to a significantly larger platform, where I will have the opportunity to sit at the negotiating table and take controlling interests.

Who are the recruiting names I should know to find these relatively rare seats? Do they typically have distribution lists? Will they even talk to me if I send an unsolicited email?

Thanks

Not senior at all. Just fortunate in that I got a seat at a place where I was given a lot of opportunities to work on my own very early on.

Updating my own thread after recently speaking to a few of the larger presences.

For anyone else interested, some of the big names in this space are: Robin Judson, DSPNY, Search1, Glocap.

For Search1 I emailed directly, and the others had resume drops.

Would highly recommend you have a PA idea to talk about before calling.
