No one understands better than Mitch Truwit, the importance of building an investment firm with diversity and people at the heart. Investing is all about people finally and the key to attracting the right people to the team and the portfolio is to create the right culture, environment, policies and practices. Mitch spoke to Winpe and our stakeholders in a fireside chat with Zia Mody, Co-founder and Managing Partner, AZB & Partners and Member, WinPE Advisory Board, on how Apax went from 7% to 24% in its diversity representation by making some simple, yet powerful changes within the firm. Winpe is pleased to share key takeaways from the chat, a handy reckoner of actionable insights.
"When you fundamentally believe it's the right thing to do, and then you have to cause change and you have to be committed to causing change and you have to be committed to exposing your flaws and being vulnerable, because we're all terribly flawed on diversity issues."
