Private Equity
Data Guy
Conversations with deal teams, operating partners, and portfolio company leaders about the data problems that kill deals, slow exits, and destroy value.
What we cover
Every episode digs into the real data challenges behind PE deals. Not theory. Not vendor pitches. Real conversations with people who live it.
We talk about the spreadsheet empires that collapse under diligence. The AI initiatives that stall because nobody governed the data. The reporting gaps that cost months of hold period and millions at exit.
If you work in private equity, advise PE firms, or lead a portfolio company, this is the podcast that tells you what is actually happening with data behind the numbers.
Diligence
Where data problems surface, what they cost, and how to catch them before the LOI.
Value Creation
Using data to drive operating improvement during the hold period, not just survive it.
Exit Readiness
Making the numbers reconcile, the story hold, and buyer diligence see clarity instead of risk.
AI and Data
Why most AI initiatives in portfolio companies fail and what the data layer needs to look like first.
Built for the people behind the deal
PE Operating Partners
You are responsible for value creation across the portfolio. You need to know where data is helping and where it is hurting.
Deal Teams
You run diligence and evaluate targets. Data quality is the risk that rarely makes it into the model until it is too late.
Portfolio Company Leaders
You are running the business. Your reporting takes too long, your systems do not talk to each other, and the board wants answers faster.
Transaction Advisors
You see data problems surface during every deal. You need a specialist to call when it happens.
