Summary
Headline, a global venture capital platform operating across multiple continents, has appointed Iñigo Garcia Gordobil as Partner and Global Head of Investor Relations and Morgan Dickson as Director of Capital Formation. These appointments underscore the firm's focus on strengthening relationships with institutional limited partners and expanding capital formation capabilities as it scales its multi-stage investment platform.
Garcia Gordobil brings substantial industry credentials to the role. He most recently served as a partner and Head of Investor Relations at Base10, a technology-focused venture capital firm. His career trajectory reflects deep institutional knowledge of the venture ecosystem from both the manager and allocator perspectives. Prior to Base10, he spent nearly a decade at Cambridge Associates, one of the leading institutional investment consultants globally, where he evaluated venture capital and growth equity managers across hundreds of firms worldwide, including Headline itself. This allocator-side experience provides him acute insight into the due diligence, data analysis, and selection criteria institutional investors apply when vetting managers. His tenure at Cambridge also included leadership of the allocator's Latin America private investment research practice, where he first connected with Headline co-founder Mathias Schilling during the firm's Latin American expansion phase. Before Cambridge, Garcia Gordobil focused on venture and growth technology investments at QIC, one of Australia's largest institutional investment managers, adding geographic and sector-specific expertise to his portfolio.
The timing of these hires reflects Headline's evolution as a maturing platform. The firm has spent over 25 years building operations across the US, Europe, Asia, and Brazil, anchored by a Global Growth Fund that deploys capital from Series B and beyond. Sustaining this geographic and stage-based diversification depends on continuous capital formation from institutional LPs who must maintain conviction in the firm's approach. By elevating investor relations to a partner-level global function and adding dedicated capital formation expertise through Dickson, Headline is signaling strategic intent to deepen and systematize its institutional fundraising capabilities. Garcia Gordobil will work alongside Estelle Mamane, the existing Head of Investor Relations Europe, to coordinate global LP engagement efforts.
