Join the Polsky Center’s IIR for private equity, Tim Kelly, for an interactive workshop to discuss special topics in the industry.

Quite often, students interested in a career in private equity think “Venture versus Buyout/Later Stage” or “Investments/Transactional versus Operational”.  Did you know that there are literally dozens of careers in the PE industry that you may have never thought of?  This workshop will introduce you to a multitude of careers that fall within the PE industry and also give you a brief description of the related skills that different roles require, some pros and cons of different career paths, and ways to pursue some of these positions.  A detailed slide pack will be available to attendees as well as those that cannot attend (please contact Cerise Miller if you cannot attend but would like a copy).

Tim is founder of TKelly Consulting and a former partner at Adams Street Partners. At Adams Street, he was a member of the leveraged buyouts, growth capital, and special situations teams within the primary investments team. Previously, he served as a managing director in the equity investment team at GE Commercial Finance. While at the company, Kelly was responsible for managing a team of 15 private equity professionals and a portfolio that consisted of approximately $1.8B in private direct and fund equity investments and an actively managed portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities received from portfolio distributions.

*Lunch will not be provided, please feel free to bring your own lunch.
