Q: What changes have you seen over the course of your career for DE&I in the private equity industry?

A: When I first started out, this just wasn’t something that was on anyone’s radar. Over the past couple of years, it is fair to say that the focus on DE&I has grown tremendously. But private equity is still something of a laggard and there is a great deal of variability that remains between managers as to understanding both business and talent impact in this area.
