Chicago-based Shorehill Capital, a private equity firm focused on industrial product and distribution platforms, promoted Sean McCarthy to Chief Financial Officer and Robert Jackson to Managing Director.

McCarthy, who is being promoted from Vice President of Finance to CFO, joined Shorehill in 2021 after nearly ten years of asset management industry experience at Gates Capital Management and PricewaterhouseCoopers. At Shorehill, his role has encompassed financial reporting, regulatory compliance and administrative operations.

“As a key member of the Shorehill leadership team, Sean has made a contribution in every facet of our business, playing a vital role in areas of fundraising, compliance, and financial management and reporting,” said Dave Hawkins, Managing Partner at Shorehill, in a Jan. 11 news release.

Jackson has been promoted from Principal to Managing Director, and he will be responsible for leading investments.

Jackson joined Shorehill in 2015 after leadership roles at both Baker Tilly Virchow Krause and RSM. He is Chairman of the Board of Directors of both Tribus Aerospace Corp. and Ascent Lifting.

“Robert has added significant value to the Shorehill team while a member of both our investment team and our business development team,” Hawkins said. “Robert’s growth into an investment team leader over his eight-year Shorehill career is a great example of how our professional development efforts are critical to the team’s long term success.”
