The Polsky Center will be hosting an informal, virtual lunch featuring Investor-in-Residence, Chris McGowan. This lunch will serve as an opportunity to meet Chris, learn more about his professional experience, and discuss any questions you may have about the private equity industry.

Chris has been a venture capital and private equity investor for 25 years and is the general partner of CJM Ventures, a private equity firm focused on buyouts, growth equity and venture capital investments in companies located near Chicago. In 2011, Chris retired as a managing director from Madison Dearborn Partners (MDP), where he co-headed their basic industries practice for the last five years of his 12-year career there and oversaw equity investments totaling over $2.0 billion.
