Bob Brown, Founding Partner and Head of Capital Formation and Investor Relations at Motive Partners, shares lessons from three decades inside private equity, including how operational discipline and a clear understanding of what creates value for LPs are critical to driving outcomes. Learn how an “investing, operating and innovating” model embeds operators and technology experts alongside investors to tackle two of the biggest causes of deal underperformance: management execution and failed technology transformations.
Plus, hear how PE firms can unlock more value from the assets they already own—using technology, data and product improvements to drive growth from existing customers, modernize legacy businesses and accelerate outcomes within the typical three-to-five-year hold period.
