How PE Firms Can Leverage Data

Brian Francese, partner and Private Equity Practice leader at Baker Tilly, joins GrowthTV to talk about how private equity firms are using data to evaluate potential investments, monitor portfolio companies, and assess readiness for exit. Technology is enabling more sophisticated data collection and analysis, and Francese points to new ways that firms are leveraging data to increase efficiencies and drive value.

The conversation wraps up with a discussion about assessing the data maturity of a target company, and what private equity firms should consider before investing.
