The Rock Center for Corporate Governance Seminar: Additional Reading

 

Warren Hellman, Chairman and Co-Founder of the leading private equity firm Hellman & Friedman, has a rare long term perspective on the private equity market. Since its founding in 1984, Hellman & Friedman has raised and managed approximately $16 billion of committed capital. Its strategy is to be a partner with management and to focus on select industries such as media, financial services and information services. In addition to being an investor and director of a number of public and private companies, Mr. Hellman is also an active philanthropist in the Bay Area.

In a special presentation at Stanford, please join us as Mr. Hellman explores corporate governance and best practices in private equity.

Mr. Buffett plays the ukulele, while Mr. Hellman plays the banjo. And unlike Mr. Buffett, who only recently started giving away his wealth, Mr. Hellman is a longtime philanthropist who in recent years may be best known for bankrolling San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
