Global Private Equity Syndrome
When I used to work for a consultancy firm, I came out with the TOP 10 identifiers for consultants. Today, as an investment banker (private equity professional to put it more precisely) - we have another TOP 10 identifiers:
- Prematurely grey hair
- Inability to remember city or country in which one is awakening
- Persistent daze / jet lag / hoarse throat
- Equating sleep on an airplane with real sleep
- Inabilities to remember (or be present at) birthdays, anniversaries, or school conferences
- Contact with new friends concerned about holding charitable dinners in your honour or naming school buildings for you
- Frequent musings about the fairness of pre-nuptial agreements
- Doubling of golf handicap every 6 months
- Ability to schedule annual physical only every five years
- Frequent spousal / child discussions about the value of sound estate planning
As always
Jose Paul Martin
PS> I reposted this one, because DealBreaker.com loved it so much… however, I believe credit goes to Abraaj Capital’s CEO.
