The Private Equity Career Playbook Is Changing. Here's What You Need to Know

Описание: In this Fund Shack episode, Ross Butler speaks with Cyril Demaria-Bengochea, Head of Private Market Strategy at Julius Baer, professor at EDHEC Business School, and one of private equity’s most insightful voices. With experience advising ILPA, Invest Europe, and the European Commission, Cyril shares hard-won wisdom on what it takes to build a successful career in private markets.

🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why private equity careers are no longer “accidental” and how to navigate the now-industrialised career paths

The hidden risk of overly structured career plans—and why real-world events always get in the way

The critical role of originality and diverse perspectives in creating new investment playbooks

Why proximity to the industry matters more than a perfect resume or rigid roadmap

The surprising truth: in private markets, deals often go to the most convincing, not the highest offer

How communication skills, emotional intelligence, and human connection can tip the balance in your favour

Why founders frequently choose investors with aligned values over the highest valuation

📌 Key Takeaways:

Start close to the industry—even if you're not in it yet.

Don’t just follow the herd. Bring your own story and viewpoint.

In private equity, relationships and trust can matter more than numbers.

The industry thrives on people as much as performance.

🎧 Whether you're a student, analyst, or aspiring investor, this episode is a masterclass in how to position yourself for long-term success in private markets.
