The Girls Are Investors Podcast: Asset Class Series - Private Equity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Tilly Franklin, Founder and Trustee of GAIN, chats with Pauline Ritter from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice about her journey into the world of finance.
Starting out as an engineering student, Pauline didn’t plan on a career in finance - but a series of internships, including one in Investment Banking in New York, opened new doors. After three years at JP Morgan, she made the leap into Private Equity, where she’s now two years into her role.
Pauline breaks down what Private Equity really involves, shares what makes the work both dynamic and people-driven, and offers thoughtful reflections on navigating the early stages of a career in investment management.
Don’t miss her inspiring career journey - and the best piece of advice she’s ever received!
