The Disruption Matters special podcast miniseries is back for its fourth season, and this year, leading industry experts will discuss how private markets can still deliver “weatherproof growth”, despite the headwinds of a revolution in tech, geopolitics and global markets.

In this first episode, we set the stage by acknowledging the unique pressures of the moment, as well as what they have in common with covid and how they differ. Our experts then detail the best practices around 100-day response plans, which are all-hands-on-deck sprints to respond to pressures on a company’s fortunes. Sustained discipline and collaborating with customers prove to be the keys to unlocking the latent potential of a disruption. As one panelist puts it, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Guests include Jason McDannold, co-lead of the private equity practice at AlixPartners; Hoyoung Pak, partner, managing director and global co-lead of the AI & Data Practice Group at AlixPartners; Mary Rachide, a managing director with ICV Partners; Bert Notini, a managing director at New Mountain Capital and co-lead of the firm’s operating partner group; and John Sander, a principal in portfolio solutions at Lightyear Capital.
