In this episode, we speak with David Katz, Managing Director at Charlesbank Capital Partners, a $24 billion AUM middle-market private equity firm that spun out of the Harvard Management Company in 1998. Drawing on its endowment heritage, Charlesbank takes a research-based approach to investing across its four target sectors: business & consumer services, healthcare, industrial, and technology. The firm partners with management teams to help businesses unlock value and accelerate growth.
At Charlesbank, David oversees the firm’s Business & Consumer Services sector team. Since formalizing the sector in 2019, Charlesbank has been among the most active and successful private equity investors in business services, including several notable realizations. Charlesbank views the services ecosystem as offering compelling and durable opportunities for continued private equity investment.
David has been with Charlesbank for nearly 13 years, during which time he has also helped to advance the firm’s investing system including its “fan of outcomes” underwriting approach. He is a member of the firm’s Investment Committee, and previously worked at Bain Capital and McKinsey.
