What Private Equity Knows About Talent That Most Companies Miss”, David Cohen, Partner, Human Capital at Kelso

How does human capital create value in private equity?

What does it take to be a successful HR leader in private equity?

My guest on this episode is David Cohen, Partner, Human Capital at Kelso
‍

During our conversation David and I discuss:

• Why the role of the human capital partner in private equity is to unlock value through people, not to run HR for the firm itself.
• What is takes to be successful as a CHRO in a private equity backed company.
• Why human capital value creation comes down to org design, the right people in the right seats, and senior team performance.
• How the "bullseye" model helps identify the right senior leader for a PE-backed company.
• Why breadth of experience matters more than titles in your 20s and 30s.
