Looking to interview Private Equity Professionals

Hi all, 

My name is Rory, I interned in HSBCs London AM division this summer and I am a Durham University finalist.

I am looking to interview people who work in the Private Equity industry in London for my dissertation. 

My dissertation is on the subject of Private Equity and how it is ‘performed’, focusing on the masculine nature of the industry, overlap with war, and representations of PE in the media.

The interview will take no more than 30 minutes of your time over Zoom and your name/company will be anonymised in the final project. 

If you are interested in being interviewed, or you know someone who might be, please drop me a DM or post in this thread. 

Cheers,

Rory
