Overview

Body

Working with Private Equity Owners

Thinking about selling to a PE group and remaining with the company? How does it work when you are no longer the boss? Do you have more flexibility or less? How do employees react? What do you share and when during the sale process?

Jim Lamont, founder of Kalos Golf, and Joey DeRusso, president of AccuFab / VP of Sales at MEC, will offer their perspectives on navigating a strategic M&A process and continuing to lead the business under PE ownership. Coming from different industries, deal structures, and post-deal roles, they’ll discuss their sale processes and then what does and doesn't change once a deal closes.

This promises to be an insightful and interesting discussion! Register early to secure your spot.
