Private debt's rapid growth is continuing to attract attention from junior professionals that are looking to make a career for themselves in this dynamic market. But how can they stand out from the crowd and prove their value in what is an increasingly competitive labour market?

In November, Private Debt Investor unveiled its annual list of Rising Stars of Private Debt, which highlights the young professionals that are blazing a trail in the asset class.

For this episode, we asked three of this year's cohort to reflect on their careers and share how they capitalised on opportunities that came their way over the course of their career, how they identified their areas of interest and what their advice would be for the next generation of private credit professionals.

Listen as Hannah Roberts, special projects editor at PDI, speaks with Adam Baghdadi, a managing director in the lending team at Arrow Global; Priscilla Schnepper, an investment manager in the private credit team at the European Investment Fund; and Catherine Verri, a partner in the investor relations team at Carlyle, to get their top tips on how to succeed in this industry.
