I Always Like To Refer Managers In

Going Public Is Not A Business Plan.

As I Said There Is Nothing Wrong With Failing. Pick Yourself Up And Try It Again. You Never Are Going To Know How Good You Really Are Until You Go Out And Face Failure.

In The Large Buy Out Space, Which Is Where We (kohlberg Kravis Roberts) Focus Our Efforts, There Are Relatively Few Firms With The Capital, Experience, Infrastructure And Networks To Compete Effectively With The Large Complex Companies That We Seek To Acquire.

I Love The Ability To Work With Very Good Managers, And To Provide The Right Incentives For Them, And Truly Become A Partner With That Management, And Make That Management Take A Long View.

I Was An Economics Major In College, And Every Summer After School, I Would Drive My Car From California, From Claremont Men's College At The Time, To New York. And I Worked On Wall Street.
