At a recent Milken Institute conference, private equity leaders, including KKRâs Alisa Amarosa Wood, emphasized the importance of networking for young dealmakers. Wood advised that building personal relationships is vital and suggested talking to new people as a strategy to source deals. She shared insights from KKRâs experience, highlighting that relationships can take decades to materialize into business opportunities. Additionally, A.J. Rohde from Thoma Bravo focused on empowering younger employees to engage actively in deal sourcing, emphasizing collaboration and support in overcoming challenges in the industry.
If you're sitting at your desk, you're not building personal relationships every day. You should be talking to three to five people you've never talked to before.
You might be talking to the same company for two decades before you can go effectuate something that's called private equity.
The senior people have walked the floor every day like a trading floor. What are you working on? People need help.
