Secondary market pioneer Dayton Carr dies
Dayton Carr, one of the first to recognize the potential in buying limited partnership interests on the secondary market, died early last month at his home in New York City at the age of 78.

Best practices for cultivating relationships with executive recruiters
So many wonderful relationships in private equity fall apart at the starting line.

By the same token, you may recall past job searches where you emailed executive recruiters. You thought they would jump at the chance to help you. But little came of the outreach and you concluded that it was a waste of time.
