We held our second annual Kohlberg Top Talent Program, welcoming 73 high-potential leaders to Westchester. This leadership program recognizes individuals for their outstanding contribution and allows these executives to exchange ideas and best practices across our companies. Over the course of two days, participants networked with our investment teams, operating partners and peers. We left inspired by the next generation of leaders within our portfolio companies. #PrivateEquity #LeadershipDevelopment #ValueCreation
