The role that private equity investors and advisors play in terms of the business world overall has perhaps never been more important. Los Angeles is an area that has an abundance of leaders of influence who make a significant impact in the
private equity space.

Angeles’ thought leaders on the subject, along with information about their careers and specialties.
