Peter Brooke at Babson to Share his Vision for Venture Capital Nov. 10
Peter A. Brooke, author of A Vision for Venture Capital: Realizing the Promise of Global Venture Capital and Private Equity will speak at Babson November 10, 5:00-6:00 p.m. in Olin Auditorium. Brooke is chairman and founder of Advent International, one of the world’s leading global private equity firms, with offices in 16 countries and $24 billion in cumulative capital raised.
Brooke, a graduate of Harvard University and Harvard Business School, has over 40 years of banking and venture capital experience in the U.S., Europe, Asia and other international markets. He founded Advent International in 1984.
A Vision for Venture Capital chronicles a distinguished career on the frontiers of international finance during the past half-century. The key to Brooke’s success—and his lasting legacy—is his vision for the industry as an essential element of economic growth and development. At a time when some believe that venture capital’s best days are behind it, and private equity has come under harsh criticism in the United States and elsewhere, A Vision for Venture Capital offers a fresh look at why the industry exists and how it can fulfill its potential in the twenty-first century.
