Finding the Right Private Equity Partner Is Key for Founders

Kelley Powell, CEO and partner of MacLaurin Group, discusses some of the insights from her new book “Courage to Lose Sight of Shore,” a guide to help company owners and entrepreneurs decide if private equity is the right fit for their business—and how to navigate the M&A process when they do.

Powell sits down with ACG Global President and CEO Tom Bohn to share her experience of becoming a published author and what motivated her to write the book (1:10). Powell also describes the technological trends shaping value creation (3:59), her concept of the “ideal admiral” as it relates to M&A (5:48), and her outlook for the middle market in the year ahead (8:33).
