both built capital companies deals equity expansion private venture
I've probably done more venture capital deals and expansion financings than I have done private equity deals. But both are the same. Private equity companies have also built jobs.

To me it's incontrovertible that investment in people, investment in business, creates jobs; they don't destroy jobs.

Boston is really a small town, and the pro sports here are almost like a college sport.

One place I haven't made it to - mainly because it's so far away - is Australia, so I'd love to go there. I've heard great things about Australia and New Zealand.

I was going to get a degree in economics and be a teacher. But I couldn't afford to pay for the education. So I just got the MBA and not the doctorate. I loved it at Bain, and I've been there ever since.
My grandfather was a shoemaker who worked in a shoe factory.

My father was a veteran and my mother a schoolteacher. They taught me the value of a good job and an honest day's work.

My favorite foods are things that aren't great to eat, like pizza.

I think business, government and unions have to work together, and the common enemies to the global economy. We're being beaten by the global economy, and we've got to unite together to win.

We need someone in Washington who knows how to build jobs from the ground up.

capital diverse firm solve terms
What I like about Bain Capital is that we have Republicans, we have Democrats, we have independents; we are a diverse firm in terms of political views. But what we do is we sit down and we try to solve the problems.
