Show Notes

Today on Dry Powder, we’re sharing a live recording from this year’s NEXUS conference in Orlando, Florida. My guest is Brian Bernasek, Co-Head of Americas Corporate Private Equity at Carlyle. We had a wide-ranging discussion about his market outlook for 2025, how he thinks about sector expertise at scale, the rising cost of alpha, and, of course, AI. 

Our conversation touches on many of the key themes in Bain’s Global Private Equity Report, which we've linked to below, but Brian is one of those rare investors who can actually bring these themes to life.
