Description
What does it take to build a lasting career in private capital? In this episode, Nicola Wealth's Rob Olsen sits down with Mike Mazan, longtime private equity leader, board member, and co-founder of KingsPeak Partners, to explore the evolution of Canada's private capital landscape over the past two decades.
From early lessons at McKinsey and Rogers to landmark investments at Birch Hill Equity Partners, including early backing of Constellation Software, Mike reflects on the wins, the pivots, and the leadership values that shape successful long-term investing. He shares his transition to family office investing, his motivations for co-founding Kingspeak, and how he and his partners are deploying their own capital with an indefinite time horizon.
