Collin Desher

My priority is helping clients navigate uncertainty, structure better outcomes and make informed decisions in complex, illiquid markets.

As a Vice President in Lincoln International’s Valuations & Opinions Group, Collin provides advisory services to private credit funds, private equity and secondaries sponsors and other institutional investors. He focuses on valuations across illiquid investments and fund-level, including NAV-based lending and structured finance, advising on fair value, transaction support and portfolio reporting.

Prior to joining Lincoln, Collin worked at Blackstone Credit in the firm’s asset-backed finance division, where he led valuation oversight and portfolio analytics for a $10 billion+ structured credit portfolio. Previously, as an Associate at Antares Capital, he managed sponsor-backed direct lending investments with responsibility for credit underwriting, restructuring, and valuation. He began his career in portfolio valuation at Houlihan Lokey and Duff & Phelps.

Collin earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance and accounting from the University of Georgia.
