Adam Miller is making a big bet on the growing importance of talent acquisition, talent development, organizational HR structure, diversity, and leadership training to private equity firms and their portfolio companies.
"HR has never had as many demands put on it as a function in the industry as it does now," said Miller (pictured) in an interview this week. Among those demands, he pointed to pressure from limited partners to hire more women and minorities, from employees to offer more flexibility to working parents, and from executives to stay competitive in the race for talent to manage both their own firms and their portfolio companies.
