By the time I left Deal Camp, I felt I had acquired a unique perspective of the private equity sector. It sharpened my technical skills and I have no doubt that what I learned will make an impact in my work at our pension fund. In fact, my office is currently working on scheduling a visit from one of the firms that presented at Deal Camp to discuss potential investment opportunities, so the camp is already yielding positive outcomes.
Everyone at Deal Camp was friendly, open to dialogue, and willing to answer questions or provide additional insight. I truly feel like I made friends at the camp. It changed my perspective of business schools altogether and I am now contemplating applying to Columbia's EMBA program.
This program is suitable for attendees at all executive levels who are seeking a better understanding of the latest trends in the private equity industry
