Recently, our fearless leader, E78 Founder and CEO John S. had the chance to sit down with Gene Hammett , host of the Growth Think Tank podcast to discuss key leadership lessons from his career and advice for other leaders on how to accelerate growth. The conversation touched on John’s #PrivateEquity industry experience early in his career, how opportunity in the market led him to found E78, how the company has rapidly grown through #acquisitions, and the importance of clear communication up and down the chain of command. “If there’s anything that could destroy good will and culture, it’s lack of communication within an organization,” John said. “Growth can create chaos. We have the privilege, as leaders, to understand what the plans are, what the priorities are, what we’re focused on. But if we’re not cascading those messages down throughout the organization, that chaos can create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.” To hear more about E78’s growth, culture, and other important lessons from the trenches, listen at the link below! https://lnkd.in/ePZhUrha #E78Life #Leadership #MandA #CEO

May's Private Equity Insights Dashboard is now available! The mid-market #PrivateEquity space saw a MoM decrease in total disclosed deal volume, with 70% of deals in the $10M- $100M range. The B2B sector took the lead, accounting for approximately 38% of total investments. Add-on activity plays a significant part of the overall deal volume, driven by the consolidation of fragmented markets and enhancing returns through operational improvements. We are seeing longer deal cycles and, within our clients, a growing interest in corporate development roles, who increasingly seek our guidance throughout the transaction lifecycle. This trend could suggest that 2025 may see a surge in activity as interest rates decrease.
