“I gained a new perspective on investing in private equity after attending the Module 2 program. I walked out of the course knowing what I should be looking for and how I should be looking at our private equity program. It provided hands-on experience and tangible takeaways that I was able to apply back in the office. In addition, the group interaction and ability to hear how my peers handle similar challenges was enlightening.”
