CD&R was delighted to once again sponsor Berlin Global Dialogue, a forum bringing together leaders from business, government and academia to address some of the world’s most pressing economic and geopolitical challenges. It was a privilege to return to Berlin last week – engaging with such a diverse group of thinkers and changemakers - and to contribute to the discussion through our participation in the panel “The End of Predictability? Adapting Enterprises to the Geopolitical Age.” At CD&R we believe private capital has a vital role to play as a partner to change—supporting companies as they navigate complexity, drive transformation, and build long-term resilience. Our thanks to the organizers and participants for such a thoughtful and engaging dialogue. We look forward to continuing the conversation next year. #BerlinGlobalDialogue #Leadership #Geopolitics #PrivateCapital #Sustainability #Partnership

CD&R Partner David Winokur, Operating Partner Dan Glaser, and Senior Advisor, Financial and Technology Services to CD&R Funds Walt Bettinger recently shared insights on the Firm’s strategy and outlook for financial services investing in a keynote interview featured in Private Equity International’s 2025 Operational Excellence report. They highlight financial services as an attractive sector, citing ongoing opportunities driven by resilience, fragmentation, and the potential for operational and technological transformation. "Having a team of people that wakes up every single day thinking about financial services makes you far less likely to miss out on some fantastic deals, and establishing a formal vertical allows us to do this." — David Winokur Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e5WaqrA4
