Regulation of private equity vs. publicly-owned firms

Andreas Beroutsos, senior managing director and partner at Eton Park Capital Management, L.P., to speak at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, Monday, March 9

WHO and WHAT: As private-equity firms are expected to report steep declines in the next few weeks for the fourth quarter of 2008 amid the deep economic recession, Andreas Beroutsos, a former senior partner with McKinsey & Co. who now is senior managing director and partner at Eton Park Capital Management, L.P. will visit Pace University’s Lubin School of Business. He will speak with students about how private-equity ownership is faring in the current crisis and how governance, regulation and compliance at private-equity firms compares with that at publicly-owned firms.

Beroutsos is a partner in Eton Park’s private investments team, focusing on private opportunities globally. He was with McKinsey before joining Eton Park in January, 2008. In 1997, he co-founded McKinsey’s practice advising Principal Investor clients, which subsequently became one of the largest global practices of the firm.

In his seventeen years with McKinsey, Beroutsos advised several of the world’s most successful private equity, hedge fund, and real estate direct investors (GPs) and fund-of fund investors (LPs) on strategy and business development, investment approach, organization and governance, succession planning, and people and compensation processes. He also worked extensively with US and global investors on sourcing transactions, conducting due diligence on specific deals, enhancing the value of their portfolio companies, and successfully exiting their investments. He also worked with private equity industry associations in developed and emerging markets on organization and industry-wide issues.

WHEN and WHERE: Monday, March 9, at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, room W-619, 1 Pace Plaza (east of City Hall), New York City Campus, at 6 p.m. Media admission by press pass.
