As a long-time contributor to RealDeals magazine, Humatica was asked to write a piece on the future of private equity – a rare opportunity to reflect on our 15 year’s experience helping leading funds and portfolio company management teams to shift behavior and grow value.

This InFocus features Humatica’s observations on changes in private equity markets, and their impact on success in the future.
