VIDEO: CCMP’s Greg Brenneman Talks About Private Equity Today

CCMP Capital Advisors is hoping that patience, discipline and a focus on old-fashioned turnarounds will set it apart from competitors in the private equity world. A large part of that approach will be down to the chairman Greg Brenneman, who has turned around everything from Continental Airlines to restaurant chains Burger King and Quiznos.

He speaks to Institutional Investor reporter Julie Segal on, among other things, seeing the early warning signs of the financial crisis , on the operational turnaround approach to private equity , and on whether banks should advise investors on how they should invest in private equity.
