It is with great sadness that we honor the memory of our Founder and Managing Partner, Russ Gehrett, who passed away in December 2025.

Russ dedicated his career to partnering with founders and management teams to build enduring businesses. He was known not just for his investment acumen, but for his genuine passion for mentoring others and supporting the growth of the people and companies he worked with. Prior to founding FalconPoint Partners, Russ established and led the New York office for Wynnchurch Capital. Previously, he helped launch Pamplona Capital Management’s New York office in 2012. He began his career in the leveraged finance group at Jefferies & Company, before joining the investment team at Wellspring Capital Management.

Beyond his professional achievements, Russ was defined by his unwavering determination, faith, and optimism. Following a diagnosis of angiosarcoma, he fought with immense courage and a resolve to remain present for his family and colleagues. His optimism and positive attitude remained a constant source of encouragement to everyone around him, even during his most difficult challenges.

Russ held a Bachelor of Science in Economics from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. He is survived by his wife, Jamie, and their three children. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and the legacy he leaves behind at FalconPoint.
