Navigating the next wave of private equity
EY’s Winna Brown discusses private equity’s ability to create operational value and its long-term outlook.
Winna Brown is the Private Equity (PE) Leader in the EY Americas Financial Accounting Advisory Services practice, and host of the Next Wave Private Equity podcast. She joins podcast host Myles Corson to discuss how private markets continue to grow and how PE firms are evaluating emerging technologies.
The conversation explores how companies can think about private equity at any point in their growth lifecycle and why talent remains at the top of the list of priorities for PE focus.
Key takeaways
- Valuations remain high across the deal market as a result of increased competition, which is seeing PE firms respond in a number of different ways.
- PE firms are using creativity in their deal structures to seek a competitive edge. This includes greenfield investments, looking at distressed industries, and taking on minority stakes.
- Choose your PE firm carefully as different firms have different styles. Choose a partner that is a good fit for your organization.
