Doing good by people is one of the secrets of success according to Vania Schlogel , Founder of Atwater Capital a Media and Entertainment sector-focused private equity firm in Los Angeles. Vania is an extrovert with a capital E who learned from her parents growing up in Boise, Idaho about the importance of putting people at ease and steadfast character. Carrying these skills, she navigated a successful course from UCLA to Goldman Sachs Leveraged Finance to KKR Growth Equity and to serving as Chairperson for Brad Pitt's company, Plan B Entertainment, Inc. The next frontier is building her own company, Atwater Capital , a next-generation private equity platform to fund the best ideas in media and entertainment while being “incontrovertibly committed to upholding her team’s character as executives and on behalf of their stakeholders.” In this Keynote, we’ll hear about several obstacles she overcame on this journey and hard-earned nuggets of wisdom for other women in private equity. Join us on October 7-8, 2024 in Boston, MA to hear from Vania! Register here: https://hubs.li/Q02szn1q0 #privateequity #mergersandacquisitions #womeninm &a #boston #speakers #womenspeakers
