Scott Sperling is the Co-CEO of Thomas H. Lee Partners.  We had an excellent conversation about his time at Harvard Management Company under legendary figures like Walter Cabot and Jack Meyer, his thoughts on the evolution of private equity, the growth of THL, how the firm is structured, his top metrics and how to find new areas of growth.

 

Scott is Co-CEO and co-chair of the firm’s management committee.  Prior to joining Thomas H. Lee Partners, Scott was, for more than a decade, managing partner of the affiliate of Harvard Management Company that managed all alternative asset classes for Harvard University’s endowment fund. Before that he was a Senior Consultant with the Boston Consulting Group.

Scott is involved with a number of charitable and non-profit organizations. He is Chairman of MassGeneralBrigham, the Parent of the Harvard teaching hospitals, Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham & Women’s Hospital. He is Chairman Emeritus of the CitiCenter for Performing Arts and Wang Theater.
