Join us at the information evening where you will hear from our expert facilitators to gain insights and key details about Mastering the Private Equity Playbook: Navigating growth and creating value.

The AGSM Private Equity Masterclass is a three-day intensive workshop designed to provide you with an in-depth understanding of how Private Equity markets work, how firms select investments, how they are motivated and rewarded and the strategies they use to grow the valuation of their investee companies toward a profitable exit.

Crucially, the AGSM Private Equity Masterclass will provide key insights into what this means for you as a senior executive or company director, equipping you with skills and techniques that cannot be gained outside of a Private Equity environment to increase both your capability and personal market value.

These skills will differentiate you for the immediate value you can bring and will enable you to thrive in the fast paced and energetic environment of a Private Equity owned company.

Who should attend?

Company founders, senior executives and non-executive directors who want to increase their readiness to work in the fast paced and demanding world of a Private Equity owned company. Anyone who wants to understand how the Private Equity world works, and learn how they can thrive in an executive or advisory position in Private Equity M&A.
