Parking Perils & Private Equity - Taking Action Without Permission

From parking wars to the real work of creating value inside private equity portfolios, this episode is all about personal agency. Jody and Morgan sit down with Paul Press of Press & Associates, a trusted search partner to private equity firms building value creation and portfolio operations teams.

Paul breaks down what “value creation” actually means in PE today, how portfolio ops teams work, why emotional intelligence matters more than ever, and what compensation really looks like behind the scenes. Along the way, they dig into negotiation, carried interest, recruiting rockstars, and why waiting for permission is the fastest way to lose momentum.
