Today’s episode of Built to Sell Radio is part of our Inside the Mind of an Acquirer series. John Warrillow interviews Lee McCabe, a former Meta and Alibaba executive turned private equity investor—now an advisor helping PE firms modernize how they create value.
McCabe argues the old model of buying cheap, piling on debt, and hoping for multiple expansion is over.

If you’re planning to sell, and private equity is your natural buyer, you’ll want to hear this.
