How are you advancing the state of women?
I am a senior sponsor of Riverside’s diversity and inclusion committee. Among several activities, we held breakfasts in New York and San Francisco for young women wishing to learn more about private equity. I also give advice to any woman thinking about a career in finance or who is starting her own fund. This year, I have provided advice to several startup funds, and it’s a great pleasure to see this happening. I am also amazed by the number of “Dads” who ask me to talk with their daughters. Just being present and willing makes a big difference.

As we think about investments in our world, understanding the broad implications is critical.
