By Request Part II: Open Forum Davos 2008

Following up to my last post, I thought I’d also include the video from the Open Forum Davos panel entitled “Private Equity & Hedge Funds – Friend or Foe?”  The talk, also from January of this year, featured Christian Levrat, Member of the Swiss Parliament; Hans Ruh, former professor of Theology and Social Ethics and current president of Blue Value;  Philip Yea, Chief Executive, 3i Group; Paul Fletcher, Senior Managing Partner, Actis Capital; and moderated by Dirk Schutz, Editor-in-chief of Bilanz.

By Request: Private Equity at the 2008 World Economic Forum

I sent this video out to the club back in January and I’ve been asked by a member to resend it to him, instead I thought I’d just embed it here. It’s from the session “Myths and Realities of Private Equity” at the past World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland (January 26, 2008).  The panel consists of Donald J. Gogel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice; Martin C. Halusa, Chief Executive Officer, Apax Partners Worldwide; Anatol Kalesky, Associate Editor of The Times; Josh Lerner, Professor of Finance, Entrepreneurial and Service Management, Harvard Business School; and David M. Rubenstein, Co-Founder and Managing Director, the Carlyle Group.
