In this episode of Northstar’s Private Equity Fast Pitch podcast, Lauren sits down with Jeff Henningsen, President and Partner at Lockton Companies Houston, to discuss what makes MiddleGround’s investment strategy unique, why founders and business owners select us as a buyer, and what she’s been most focused on in building a private equity firm from the ground up. She talks about what has been key to some of MiddleGround’s early successes, the importance of firm culture and work/life balance, and advice for those looking to build a career in finance or as an entrepreneur.

You’ll also find out where she’s lived outside the US, why she sends us all emails at midnight (hint: it’s for a good reason), and what she thinks about luck!
