Podcasts about Bain Capital

This episode is sponsored by AlixPartners The Disruption Matters special podcast miniseries is back for its fourth season, and this year, leading industry experts will discuss how private markets can still deliver growth, despite the headwinds of a revolution in tech, geopolitics and global markets. All season long, we've argued that PE firms need to pursue growth even in times of uncertainty and volatility. But in our final episode of the year, we're clarifying that not all growth is created equal. The right kind of growth is cost-effective and sustainable. We explore the threats to sustainable growth, the need to shape growth strategies around exit routes, how buy-and-build strategies can go awry, and how to pause a growth strategy without stalling the company's progress. Guests include Jason McDannold, co-lead of the PE practice at AlixPartners; Halvor Horten, partner at Bain Capital; Jennifer Fox Bensimon, a managing director on the co-investment team of Partners Capital Investment Group; Emanuela Cisini, a partner, co-head of operational improvement and head of Mideast and Asia at Investindustrial; and Burak Kiral, a partner and managing director with AlixPartners.

Drawing on its endowment heritage, Charlesbank takes a research-based approach to investing across its four target sectors: business & consumer services, healthcare, industrial, and technology. The firm partners with management teams to help businesses unlock value and accelerate growth. At Charlesbank, David oversees the firm's Business & Consumer Services sector team.

De twee bedrijven moesten nog even tot een overeenkomst komen, maar dat liet lang op zich wachten. Na maanden is er een akkoord: Microsoft houdt een belang van 27 procent in OpenAI. En ondertussen wordt het AI-bedrijf omgevormd naar een bedrijf dat ook winst mag maken. Dat maakt een beursgang mogelijk. En die kan al snel gebeuren. Hoe snel, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Het is voorbij voor duizenden medewerkers van Meta, Amazon, UPS en ING. Het personeel moet naar huis, want voor het tweede jaar op rij denken al deze bedrijven dat ze hun banen kunnen vervangen door AI. We hebben het ook over NXP. Na anderhalf jaar durft de Nederlandse chipmaker weer te dromen over omzet- en winststijgingen. Met een omzetdaling van 'slechts' 2 procent zijn de kwartaalcijfers een meevaller. En wat zou je doen bij wéér slecht nieuws rond Philips? Dat bedrijf kreeg een brief op de mat van de Amerikaanse toezichthouder. Die waarschuwt: Philips houdt zich in drie fabrieken niet aan de procedures voor verantwoorde productie. Met de slaapapneu-affaire nog vers in het geheugen, drukken beleggers op de verkoopknop. Dan hoor je ook nog een beurs die hier normaal nóóit langskomt. De bestemming: Sydney, Australië. Daar staat het aandeel Domino's Pizza Enterprises genoteerd, het bedrijf achter een hele hoop Domino's filialen buiten de VS, ook in Nederland. Volgens Bloomberg zat er een overname aan te komen, een gerucht dat het aandeel 22 procent in de plus zette. Maar het was snel voorbij met de pret: het bedrijf sprak de geruchten snel tegen en toen donderde de koers weer in elkaar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Matti Lievonen, EcoCeres joins Oscar on The SAF Podcast. Matti shares insights from his illustrious career from the transition from traditional refining at Neste to pioneering renewable fuel production in the rapidly expanding Asian SAF market.The conversation reveals the company's innovative approach to feedstock traceability, managing relationships with over 100,000 restaurants for used cooking oil collection, and their breakthrough "easy tracer" technology that tracks feedstock origins down to individual 30-kilogram contributions.This startup mentality, backed by significant investment from Bain Capital, has enabled rapid expansion with facilities in China and Malaysia collectively producing over 700,000 tons annually.The discussion explores critical industry challenges including feedstock security, the potential impact of China's anticipated SAF mandates in their upcoming five-year plan, and the complex dynamics between regional production and global supply chains. Lievonen addresses the tension between Europe's preference for local production versus Asia's capacity for large-scale, cost-effective manufacturing and export.Key topics include strategic partnerships with airlines like British Airways, the role of private equity investment from Bain Capital and Kerogen Capital, and the urgent need for policy harmonization across regions to accelerate SAF adoption. Lievonen also discusses consumer education challenges, cost reduction strategies through novel feedstock development, and the collaborative ecosystem approach needed to achieve aviation's 2050 decarbonization targets.Despite current cost barriers, Lievenen remains optimistic about SAF's future: "If you think about the time track, SAF has been now like five years old. If you think about fossil fuel, it's 100 years old. So we have time, and I'm sure we could find a way to make SAF very competitive but also well-used." Through collaboration across airlines, suppliers, and governments, the vision of truly sustainable aviation feels increasingly within reach.

We start with reports that Bain Capital may be taking Canada Goose private, with bids valuing the luxury parka maker well above its current market cap. Next, we break down Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s latest speech at Jackson Hole, where cooling growth, sticky inflation, and tariff-driven price shocks shaped the market’s outlook on rate cuts. We also look at Scotiabank’s surprising earnings beat, why their international arm is still a drag, and whether their promise of “pruning” is finally over. On the macro front, we discuss Trump’s efforts to reshape the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government’s growing trend of taking equity stakes in strategic companies like Intel and MP Materials. Finally, we wrap up with another strong quarter from Dollarama, which continues to post impressive growth while expanding globally.

For decades, private equity has been the darling of pension funds, university endowments, and sovereign wealth funds, promising high returns and low volatility. Now, President Donald Trump has made it possible for everyday investors to get in on the magic with his executive order, "Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors.” The order relieves regulatory burdens that limit the access of defined contribution plans, like 401(k)s, to alternative assets such as private equity (but also cryptocurrency and real estate). The hope is to give American workers access to greater choice, diversification, and potential growth towards a comfortable retirement.But Trump's order comes just as longstanding questions about private equity's promise of high returns and low risk are coming to the fore. Has the distribution of returns slowed to a trickle? What does data actually say about private equity's performance, and where is the industry headed? There is also a long standing debate whether private equity is good for society, independent of financial returns.Is private equity actually a ponzi scheme that now threatens the retirements of millions of American workers? To make sense of it all, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Dan Rasmussen, an experienced investor and author who began his career in private equity but has emerged as one of the most prescient critics of the industry. Together, the three of them distill what the state of the industry means for the future welfare of investors, workers, and the American economy as a whole.Bonus: Check out ProMarket's recent series on the impact of private equity in the health care industry.

Why are star rainmakers leaving? How deep does the unease among shareholders run? And what does it say about the future of wealth management in India as younger, more nimble rivals rise?Tune in.

While the terms “uncertainty” and “volatility” get thrown around a lot, they certainly describe what's going on now in global markets, especially when it comes to private equity. In this episode of Redefiners, Clarke Murphy and Marla Oates talk with Bain Capital Co-Managing Partner John Connaughton to get his take on leading through change. As someone who has successfully managed through several periods of volatility during his more than 36-year career with Bain Capital, John takes us through how he's been able to look past current unpredictability with an eye towards the long term. He shares tips and key learnings on how to increase adaptability and agility across the firm, including AI adoption and transformation. He talks about recruiting and retaining top talent, and the top traits he looks for in leaders. Plus, he shares his thoughts on how universities can help redefine the skills needed for next generation leaders to excel in a rapidly changing world. We'll also hear from Chris Davis, a leadership advisor in our New York City office, who will discuss the critical leadership traits financial services CEOs need to master AI transformation.  Four things you'll learn from this episode: How to find and keep the best talent, including the top traits to look for in leadership How to build resilience and adaptability in teams to deal with uncertainty and change How technology and AI impacts investment strategy and growth How educational institutions need to redefine what skills will be needed in a rapidly changing world

Tariff turmoil, trade wars and real conflict in the Middle East – these are just some of the challenges private equity participants have had to navigate so far this year. Speaking to senior editor Adam Le, David Gross, co-managing partner at Bain Capital, said volatility and uncertainty is nothing new for investors. “I'd be the first to agree that it's a very disorienting time period,” Gross said. He points out, however, that volatility and uncertainty have characterised almost the past two decades. “Since the global financial crisis, we've seen heightened volatility in the investing world. If you just look at the VIX [volatility index] and other metrics, and the market windows that are open in the public market, you've seen heightened volatility." Gross, who has been with the firm for 25 years and is also managing partner of Asia, discusses what effective investors need in uncertain environments, the attraction of defence investing in Europe, the exit environment, and why the firm has no current plans to launch a secondaries investment business.

Being the biggest leader in your industry sector doesn't guarantee the future anymore. These days it can be quite the opposite, as we continue to witness big-dog leaders being dethroned by the next generation of agile tech-enabled competitors.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Show we have a sit down with Wayne Levings, a CEO, Chief Client Officer, and Executive Committee Member at Kantar, to learn from one of the biggest reboots of our decade.For Kantar, the struggle over the last decade has been real, as they have been through multiple reboots, adapting to the global power shifts in the market. The first reboot came with a mandate to breakup some of the pieces and spinout the company from the WPP Mothership through a partnership with Bain Capital. Now on their own, Kantar is a $3.5B marketing data and analytics powerhouse with 25,000 employees operating in 100 countries. With massive backing from Bain they have an opportunity to invest in next-gen areas, like AI and automation, and seize what's next. But it won't be easy to fight back and disrupt the disruptive disruptors.Watch or listen as we unpack this exciting reboot in progress, as they search for the perfect balance of AI and human-driven data—with a sneak peek into the future in this frothy hyper-competitive market being disrupted by AI.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Greg Shell, a seasoned investor, civic leader, and partner at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, where he leads the firm's inclusive growth strategy. Over the course of the conversation, we discuss how Shell's three decades and expertise in investing, and his commitments to creating opportunity and greater economic and social mobility, for many years pursued through board leadership and community and nonprofit engagement, have come together in impact investing, first at Bain Capital, and now at Goldman Sachs Alternatives.  Shell explains that he believes deeply in the power of capitalism — the power of the profit model to drive innovation, opportunities for ownership and wealth building, economic growth — and that the current system is failing to deliver broad based economic and social mobility. He notes that stagnant wages, growing income and wealth inequality, and deep and real economic insecurity, are all profound challenges, but ones that must and can be addressed.  “Our economy would be bigger and faster growing if more people could participate and contribute fully,” Shell says. This is also the thesis of the private equity strategy he leads at Goldman Sachs Alternatives that invests into affordable and high-quality health care, education and workforce development, and financial inclusion. In each vertical, Shell's team identifies companies that focus on remedying exclusion as social and economic challenge and market opportunity, where need drives demand, innovation expands access, and both lead to social impact and strong business fundamentals. We walk through two portfolio examples in education (online literacy intervention) and health care (autism services).  Despite the turbulence of the current environment, Shell is optimistic. “Human capital is the first, best and greatest asset we have,” he says. “Investing in human capital is always the right decision, and if we do it the right way” can deliver extraordinary returns, on every dimension.

“We want to bring health care to a place where claims are processed in real-time, like checking out on Amazon,” says Stephen Krupa, CEO of HealthEdge. Krupa joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jonathan Palmer to unpack how HealthEdge’s core platform powers claims processing for more than 110 million people. He shares how legacy infrastructure still dominates (with 60% of health plans still relying on decades-old technology), why automation and gen AI will drive touchless transactions and how payer platforms must evolve to support member-centric care. Krupa also reflects on HealthEdge’s journey from startup to its transformation under Blackstone, and what the next chapter might look like with Bain Capital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Startups increasingly depend on mergers and acquisitions for exits due to a sluggish IPO market. Private equity firms have invested over $56 billion in acquiring private, venture-backed companies in the past five years. In 2023, private equity firms announced 22 acquisitions of seed- or venture-funded private companies, with three deals revealing a total of $8.3 billion. Notable recent transactions include ModMed's $5.3 billion sale to Clearlake Capital Group and HealthEdge's $2.6 billion acquisition by Bain Capital. Private equity firms prefer to buy established companies with substantial revenue, often resulting in acquisitions of mature startups. Seed-stage companies are less likely to attract private equity interest, as they face more favorable exit opportunities from strategic industry buyers. Although public PE firm valuations have declined, significant numbers of later-stage companies, with 789 private, venture-backed firms in the U.S. valued over $1 billion, present opportunities for acquisitions. Many of these firms have seen reduced valuations since their market peak four years ago, making them attractive for private equity acquisitions.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

When private-equity veteran Craig Boyce left nearly two decades at Bain Capital and neuroscientist Dr. Melanie Leitner stepped out of the lab, both carried a deeply personal mission: speed up the end of ALS. Together they helm the ALS Investment Fund, a for-profit venture vehicle that backs early-stage therapeutics aimed at turning the disease from terminal to chronically managed by filling the “capital void” between basic research and big-pharma buy-in​. In this conversation with Tim and Troy, Craig recounts losing his father to ALS and how that tragedy redirected his deal-making skills toward impact investing​, while Melanie shares the “seventh-grade brain report” that launched her career and why today's biomarker and platform-trial advances finally make true progress possible​. They break down: Why capital markets—not philanthropy alone—must fund $10-$50 M clinical trials ​ The business case that's luring big pharma back to neuro (“the decade of neurodegeneration”) ​ How a cystic-fibrosis-style royalty model could recycle billions into ALS research ​ The audacious goal to “put ourselves out of business” by making effective therapies commonplace ​ If you're curious how finance, science, and relentless human stories converge to accelerate cures, this episode delivers a front-row seat.

John Rappaport is the Chief Investment Officer at Keyframe Capital, a special situations fund manager. They help management teams solve complex asset and corporate financing requirements. In finance speak, this is often referred to as structured capital—the process of separating a company's capital structure into layers, enabling each layer to be fit for an investor seeking that specific risk-return profile.As John shares, structured capital can often be a good fit for companies in the energy transition, as those in renewable energy and adjacent categories often have high upfront capital costs and a relatively low cost of ongoing production.John has spent much of his career in financial roles within the energy and transportation sectors. Prior to founding Keyframe in 2020, he joined Cyrus Capital Partners in 2008, and before that, he worked for Sankaty Advisors, a division of Bain Capital. He has lectured on structured capital and economics at Yale University and sits on the boards of many companies in the energy transition space, including Wonder Capital, Utility Data, and Sealed, among others.So, let's dive into the wonky but important world of structured capital.In this episode, we cover: [1:57] Overview of Keyframe Capital[2:52] The origin of Keyframe and a story about Terawatt Infrastructure[11:25] Understanding structured capital[17:01] Examples of structured capital: Infrastructure as a service[21:10] Keyframe's thesis-driven approach[25:56] The data center financing challenge[31:02] When and how founders should engage with structured capital providers[35:48] Keyframe's current focus areasEpisode recorded on Jan 21, 2025 (Published on Feb 6, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?

Today's show is our third in the Training Grounds mini-series, following Carnegie Corporation and Bain Capital to better understand how certain organizations have developed industry leaders. Wellington Management is one of the world's largest, privately held asset managers, managing over $1.3 trillion in assets with 875 investment professionals across 19 offices and a nearly 100 year history with an unusually low level of turnover along the way. Wellington has developed, recruited, and retained leading global investment talent across public equities, fixed income, and recently private markets as well. My guest to discuss this training ground is Jean Hynes, CEO of Wellington, who has spent more than thirty years at the firm starting as an administrative assistant. Our conversation covers Wellington's cultural values and boutique investment team model, including apprenticeship for junior talent, recruiting at the mid-level, and promotion all the way to partner. We then discuss Wellington's evolution from a U.S. equity value shop to a global, multi-asset, multi-strategy powerhouse, and Jean's evolution from a portfolio manager to CEO.   Take Capital Allocators Audience Engagement Survey Learn More Follow Ted on Twitter at @tseides or LinkedIn Subscribe to the mailing list Access Transcript with Premium Membership
