Relationships matter and we need to get to know people, for people. Especially if you’re working in business development for private equity, which is by nature, a highly transactional environment and it can be very easy to forget the people side of things. Today’s guest is Jessica Ginsberg, the Director of Business Development for LFM Capital out of Nashville, TN. Jessica is responsible for LFM’s business development activities such as overseeing the firm’s direct sourcing and outreach to intermediaries. Jessica has served in many different roles including business development, transaction diligence, credit analysis, and investor communications.
