Wilson Perumal & Company was delighted to host senior executives and operating partners in the private equity community to participate in our Operating Partner Series December 6, 2018 at The Lambs Club in New York.
We had a lively fireside discussion and Q&A with Dean Hamilton, SVP and CTO of Persistent Systems, on an important topic: how to exploit innovative technologies such as AI without introducing unmanageable complexity. We enjoyed conversation, cocktails and networking with leading industry and PE peers and look forward to the next Operating Partner Series event.
