What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
My favorite thing about the private equity industry is seeing all the different ways people make money. It's like going to business school and learning how people built companies from the ground up.
You hear the craziest stories, and it really shows that anyone can create something. It just takes drive and resilience.
Who knew certain industries make so much money? I would have never known unless I was presented with investment opportunities in this role and industry. It's been amazing, a lot of learning, and a lot of fun.
