Last week, we hosted our Women in Private Equity Mid-Market breakfast, bringing together a group of ambitious women eager to hear insights from leading female professionals in private equity. Our speakers shared both their professional and personal experiences from their career journeys so far, offering valuable lessons for our audience to take away. Key learnings: - Mid-market offers high levels of exposure from day one, often working within lean and dynamic teams. - Mid-market investment professionals come from a range of backgrounds so consider your current key responsibilities that have equipped you with your skillset. Our panellists highlighted the importance of playing to your strengths and leveraging your experience when interviewing. - Be interview savvy, from deep diving into the fund’s portfolio to completing practice case studies and modelling tests. When interviewing, ensure to grasp the fund’s culture as this will be imperative to your learning experience. A special thank you to our fantastic speakers, Mutsa Mutembwa, Samira Aminzare, Bethany Shiers, Anna Gunningham, Sarinna (Proud) Teeravanichpong, Marie Jolly, Helena Stylianou, and the sponsoring funds August Equity, Charterhouse Capital Partners, EMK Capital, Inflexion, Oakley Capital, Triton Partners.
