In this episode of The Exchange, Ryan Loehr sits down with Mark Bryan, Managing Partner at Pemba Capital Partners, to explore what happens when deep capital markets experience meets hands-on private equity ownership.
After two decades in listed markets - including leading research on IPOs for MYOB, ELMO, Whispir and ReadyTech - Mark shares why he moved into private equity and how that shift changed his view on value creation, leadership and long-term strategy.
The conversation unpacks what separates true strategic partners from financial buyers, when founders should consider bringing in growth capital, and how private equity can help professionalise businesses through management depth, operational discipline and structured buy-and-build strategies. Mark also shares insights from Pemba and discusses how AI, sector focus and disciplined origination are shaping the next phase of mid-market investing in Australia.
For founders and families navigating growth, institutional capital or long-term transition planning, this episode offers a grounded look at how to think about partnership, scale and strategic alignment.
