I’ve received a lot of email asking, “What’s the story, are you leaving PE?” The answer is, Yes, I am… I’ve had a great run working as a private equiteer and my time in PE has been exceedingly enjoyable, but it’s now time for a change and time to be true to myself.

You’re probably thinking, “what does that even mean… be true to yourself?” Well, I’ve come to realise a career in private equity is tangential to my overarching goals. I know, I know… that sounds very self-help-esque, but you’ll be glad to hear the result involves a very exciting startup venture (stay tuned).

So, what’s the future for The Private Equiteer? Well, as the title of the post suggests, I’m just leaving the building, not the blog. Conceivably, my new material will be refreshed by a different perspective of private equity; an “ex-insider’s now-outsider’s” view, if you will. I’ll also continue to post responses to your comments/emails and share all new thoughts on PE and VC.
