You may think of Carol Roth as a media personality because she has worked with so many media outlets, or you might think of her as an author because she has written two New York Times bestselling books. 

You would be right on both counts, but she is also, in her own words, “a ‘recovering’ investment banker, completing transactions and transformational initiatives for companies worth more than $2 billion.” I pulled that from her LinkedIn About section. 

Basically, Carol knows some stuff about investing and investments. 

I was interested in her recent post on LinkedIn about Private Equity (PE). (You can scroll down within the window to read the whole post.) 

I am not certain what “hating” she was referring to, but I know some negative articles and videos about what PE investment does to companies have been in my feed recently, and probably yours. I thought it was important to share Carol’s thoughts on this blog to give you another point of view.
