Will's Story
Will is not an obvious candidate to work at a large private equity fund, with a background in the car industry and operations consulting. He saw Apax as an enlightened firm which was thinking broadly about the skills they could leverage. He was surprised and impressed by the people he met who combined high ambition and ability with humility, kindness and great listening skills. Will has valued the opportunity to work with and learn from talented Apax deal teams and management teams, and most enjoys “getting in the boat” and helping company leaders execute on their priorities.
