A talk on personal branding for the Association for Corporate Growth New York

Association for Corporate Growth New York

I had the good fortune to speak to a sold-out audience of investment professionals in New York City last week. 

The audience included upper, middle and lower Market Private Equity professionals, Investment Bankers and other capital providers for private one on one multi-industry track meetings and a networking reception. 

We use signature stories to communicate our value proposition to our targeted audiences. Signature stories are authentic to you and are generated from an analysis of your past achievements.

I was delighted to join Dr. Aamir A. Rehman, the Chair of Innate Capital Partners & Sr. Fellow & Adjunct Faculty at Columbia Business School. Dr. Aamir A. Rehman is a private equity practitioner and educator.

Dimitri Skambas is a Senior Associate at SRV Partners, where he takes on substantive roles in the firm’s restructuring and interim management engagements. Dimitri previously worked at the Ouroboros Group, a consumer-focused private equity firm, where he was responsible for the firm’s business development and execution activities.

Dimitri is a Co-Chair of the Forward Committee for ACG New York and what really made the evening special was to learn that Dr. Rehman is Dimitri's former professor from Columbia Business School. They hosted a fireside chat on the state of the economy, career development, and lessons learned in private equity. 

Privately, Dr. Rehman and I discussed some of the misconceptions of the private equity sector ... more on that next week.

A birthday celebration at Four Twenty-Five ...

We're foodies at Westgate and I was thrilled to share my birthday with my good friend, Karen, at a new restaurant called Four Twenty-Five, which is located at 425 Park Avenue. Our birthdays are one day apart. 

The meal was extraordinary as was the service. We opted for the tasting plate, which provided a sampling of the most popular items on the menu. 

Thank you for being part of the Westgate community. I hope you have a great day ahead where ever you are. Have an optimized week ahead.
