CLAIRVEST COMPLETES SIXTH INVESTMENT IN SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING; LOOKS TO REMEDIATION AND C&E NEXT

摘要

MC: Founded in 1987, Clairvest is a private equity investment firm and we are currently investing from our sixth fund, launched this year, which is capitalized at $850 million. Clairvest has been investing in the waste management and environmental services industry for the past 15 years, and we have recently completed our sixth platform investment in the sector. We have not made an investment yet but have been diligently studying the environmental consulting, engineering and remediation sectors and looking to find a terrific company and management team with which to partner. In terms of size, we tend to focus on companies generating $5- $25 million of pre-tax earnings and we are targeting to invest at least $25 million per transaction. In terms of my background, I am Managing Director and I have been with Clairvest since 2002. I oversee industry research, investment origination, and transaction execution with a focus on environmental services sector. I am currently a Board member for our two investments in the solid waste management sector. I earned my M.B.A. from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a Bachelor of Commerce with honors from Queen’s University at Kingston.
