In the Chair with Tori Buffery

Growing up as the lone corporate in a family of creatives, Tori Buffery’s pioneering career in GP-led secondaries has been anything but conventional. At what point did she stop considering her trajectory to be a series of “right place, right time” moments and begin recognizing her own role in her success? 

In this episode of In the Chair, Buffery—Principal at Neuberger—shares how she played a pivotal role in building the GP-led secondaries market from the ground up, and how fostering meaningful, long-term connections and turning down job offers helped her embrace opportunity.
