What is Middle Market Private Equity?

Alex, Conor, and Chris, chat with Elias Dokas, a Managing Director within Midocean Partner’s private equity investing arm. Elias Dokas began his career working with Morgan Stanley in their LBO group and transitioned to work for Blackstone before moving to his current role. Elias gives insight into how Midocean Partners differs in its operations from a mega PE firm like Blackstone and his ultimate motivation behind transitioning from a mega PE fund to a middle market fund. Additionally, Elias provides perspective on the conflicts that may exist between portfolio companies and private equity investors and how investors can enhance the operations and risk preparation of portfolio companies given Midocean’s experience working through COVID-19.
