Transcript
I'm Hugh MacArthur, chairman of Bain & Company's Global Private Equity Practice and host of Dry Powder, a podcast where I sit down with some of private equity's leading investors, such as TPG's Jim Coulter. Somehow the industry keeps growing, and it has more survival power than people think. KKR's Pete Stavros. Driving operational change is really hard. And Vista's Robert Smith. As a market dampened, guess what? We were able to monetize 18 companies. If you want to understand how the best investors are positioned for what's next, subscribe to Dry Powder today.
