Speaks to International Executive Resource Group
Scott Johnson, CEO of lower middle market buyout group SJ Partners, LLC, spoke to the International Executive Resource Group on the lower middle market buyout sector in a presentation entitled, “Why You May (or May Not) Want to Consider a (Lower Middle Market) LBO: Perspectives From the Front-Line.”
The presentation provides an overview of recent trends in the leveraged buyout market and presents the case why the lower middle market buyout can be a more attractive opportunity with lower risk and higher return potential than the typical LBO, especially for the CEO.
