Q&A: Operational Due Diligence Analyst

Hi, Long time lurker here. Thought I'd finally make an account and introduce myself. I work in NYC for a consulting firm (think Albourne / Aksia) that does operational due diligence on hedge funds and private equity funds. I went to a non-target school but had great grades, graduated summa cum laude. Background: As an ODD analyst, we perform due diligence on funds for LP's, making sure they are safe for investment from a business / strategic viewpoint (as opposed to an investment perspective). Its actually an interesting position - even as a 1st year analyst out of college, I was put in front of the CFO / CCO / COO of some of the most well known hedge funds / private equity firms in the world. In Year 2, I found myself sitting at a Blackstone conference room speaking to some of the most senior people who work there discussing the next vintage of their energy partners fund. Happy to answer any question on what this entails but I can't provide responses that might give away my identity. There's probably less than 200 people in NYC who does this kind of work and we all tend to know each other. Ask Away!
